Guard Sound Doctrine (Jude 3-7)

Though Jude wanted to write a letter of encouragement, he instead urges the church to contend for the faith against false teaching. He recalls examples from Israel’s history to warn of the dangers of unbelief and rebellion. Sound doctrine protects believers from both legalism and lawlessness.

you thought was untrue?

this hit you? Are you more likely to say “SIGN ME UP!” or not? Why?

  1. Do you understand the lessons Jude draws from the Old Testament? Can you articulate them in your

own words?

  1. Read some other NT passages on dealing with false teaching: Acts 20: 28-31; 1 Tim 4:1-16; 6:3-5; 2

Tim 2:14-26; 2 Cor 11:5-15; Gal 1:6-9; 4:17-20; 6:12-16; Phil 3:1-14; Col 2:6-8, 16-23; 2 Pet 3:1-18;1

John 4:1-6. How are these similar and/or different from Jude? What important things do we learn that
