An Overwhelming Call, but an Overcoming God
In the book of Jude, Jude wrote in an implicit manner, about how God spreads His Kingdom through the church. He also warned the early believers of the false teachers that had infiltrated the church. He clearly expressed that the church must contend for the believers, led astray by false teachers, and it must also contend to maintain the integrity and truth of the Gospel.
However, Jude also exhorted the early believers with the mission of the church. In verses 20-23 He wrote: “But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them” (NIV)
We have an overwhelming call, but an overcoming God, who empowers His Body, in order to spread the Gospel of Christ.
