Yin Ting's Jude Summary

I have had plenty of thoughts. I hope this is not too long. :)

v4: about people who accept God's grace, but justified their sins with it.
-easy for people to fall prey to godless men as they are more likely to present
us with what we like to pray. Therefore, we need discernment.
v5: The very people who saw God at work chose not to believe. They were destroyed.
- After seeing God's grace, am I still indulging in my own ways?
- We have full responsibility to develop and bring out the gifts that God gives
us.
v7: Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed due to their sins, despite the fact that they were
prosperous based on earthly standards.
- God is gracious by giving us chances to repent. So do we or indulge in earthly
pleasure?
We went on to discuss about sin and temptation. We mentioned that if one thinks that one cannot curb sin, one should flee. If one can face it, always face it with humility, knowing that God is sovereign over everything.
v9: Don't slander celestial beings, but the dreamers do. They have no idea of the
power of authority.
- in things we do not understand, do not take lightly, but seek to understand.
v11: As sins get worse, the consequences of them get worse too.
- It is the faith that changes us, any by the conversion of our belief, our
genuine life led out.
v12: These men are fruitless.

Somehow, I didn't write anything for v.13-16. Apologies!
Jud's application for me is to always ask myself whether there are areas in my life where I am taking God's grace for granted and doing things that make me happy with no consideration of whether it pleases Him. It is also a good reminder for me not to tread near the boundaries of sin and evil. :)
