“Contend for the Faith”

Jude 1:3–4  (ID: 3651)

When the first-century brotherhood of believers was invaded by people who distorted Scripture and denied Jesus, Jude could not sit idly by and watch. Instead, he wrote a striking, timeless, prophetic word from God to the church, urging them to wake up and contend for the faith. Alistair Begg explores how perverted ideas infiltrate and certain culprits ingratiate themselves within our churches today and what must be done to stop them.


Judgment on False Teachers

3Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
