Summoned:
How Jude Helps the Church Navigate the Spiritual Battle
The letter of Jude is brief, but it is weighty. Jude writes to a church that is not under open attack from the outside, but under quiet pressure from within. What concerns him is not loud rejection of the faith, but subtle distortion of it. Certain influences have slipped in unnoticed and are reshaping how people think about grace, authority, holiness, and Christ himself.
Yet Jude does not write to unsettle the church. He begins by reminding believers that they are kept by God and ends by lifting their eyes to the God who is able to keep them to the end. Between those two assurances, Jude calls the church to contend for the faith. Not with fear or hostility, but with clarity, faithfulness, and dependence on the Spirit.
This letter speaks honestly about real dangers. It names the misuse of freedom, the corruption of desire, the power of words, and the pull of pride. At the same time, it shows us the way of endurance. The Christian life is not sustained by vigilance alone, but by walking in the Spirit and resting in God’s preserving grace.
As we move through Jude together, we will be challenged to examine our lives and our loves. But above all, we will be reminded that our hope does not rest solely in our ability to hold on to God, but in God’s faithfulness to hold on to us.
