Jude

Jude delivers a forceful warning against immoral intruders who distort God’s grace and reject authority. Drawing on Old Testament and extra-biblical references, he urges believers to contend earnestly for the faith (Jude 1:3). The letter highlights judgment, spiritual vigilance, and God’s ability to keep believers secure (Jude 1:24–25). Jude’s imagery is vivid, and his tone urgent—a call to theological clarity and moral integrity.

Author: Jude – Brother of Jesus and Servant of Christ
Jude, also called Judas, was a half-brother of Jesus and brother to James. Despite not following Jesus during His earthly ministry, he later became a bold proclaimer of the gospel. His writing shows deep knowledge of Jewish tradition and apocalyptic themes.

Time Period:

• Biblical: Likely written in a time of growing apostasy and false teaching.

• Scholarly: Estimated between AD 60–80, prior to John’s Revelation.
