Jude<\/p>\n
Like James, Jude was not an apostle, but just an ordinary disciple. James, his brother, had been martyred a few years before Jude wrote this letter. He laid himself out to write a great treatise on (verse 3), Salvation, but abandoned it under the constraint of the Holy Spirit, to write a half-page letter giving a history of Apostasy, from the very beginning, and to warn his readers of that peril.<\/p>\n
KEPT <\/p>\n
(Jude.)<\/p>\n
The words "keep" and "kept" are mentioned five times, and form a helpful study.<\/p>\n
I. The Lord’s People are Kept Ones. Kept by God from sin for the Lord Jesus. "Preserved in Jesus Christ" (1) is the R.V. "Kept for Jesus Christ."<\/p>\n
II. Some Angels "Kept Not their First Estate" (Jud_1:6), so are "kept" (R.V., instead of Reserved) in chains.<\/p>\n
III. We Must Keep Ourselves in the full constant assurance that God loves us (Jud_1:21).<\/p>\n
IV. He is Able to Keep Us, not merely from "falling," but as R.V., from "stumbling," for it is stumbling which precedes falling (Jud_1:24).<\/p>\n
ETERNAL THINGS <\/p>\n
(Jud_1:6-7; Jud_1:21).<\/p>\n
Three eternal things are mentioned in this letter.<\/p>\n
1. Life (Jud_1:21).<\/p>\n
2. Chains (Jud_1:6).<\/p>\n
3. Fire (Jud_1:7).<\/p>\n
COMMON SALVATION<\/p>\n
(Jud_1:3).<\/p>\n
Salvation is called "common," not because it is cheap and worth little, but because:<\/p>\n
I. It comes from a Common Source-God, the Love of God.<\/p>\n
II. It is Offered to All Classes. "Commons" are open spaces belonging to the public, and held by Corporations or Councils for all to share and enjoy alike. So salvation is for all.<\/p>\n
III. It Supplies a Common or General Need.<\/p>\n
IV. It is the Common Theme of all the sacred writers.<\/p>\n
