Hey everyone, following my last email, I expect you are all eagerly completing your Jude 5-16 summaries now and can't wait to post it on the blog :-) What fun! Keep 'em coming ...
To help put a framework around it, I just wanted to put up my outline of Jude. I fully accept you may have an alternative (even better) outline, that is the joy and purpose of Bible Study - to discuss, challenge and sharpen each other's understanding and interpretation of God's most holy and inspired Word. Therefore, if what I put here makes it difficult for you to fit your summary into, please do include your outline of Jude as well. That would be even better to help us all understand your perspective on the passage.
Jude 1-4 - Our faith is worth fighting for: Jude calls the Church to contend for purity of truth and life
Jude 5-16 - Falling away from the faith is a consequence of forgetting your calling
Jude 17-23 - Standing firm in the faith is to live in the love of God
Jude 24-25 - Our faith is eternally secure in the hands of Him who keeps us
My outline is primarily derived from 3 words Jude himself uses in verse 1:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.
I look forward to reading your summaries and am intentionally delaying posting mine for now :-)
Love,
WW
