Wake Up Call to the Saints:
A Message from the Book of Jude
Dear Beloved Saints,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I write to you today with a fervent and urgent message inspired by the Book of Jude. It is a wake-up call to each one of us to be vigilant and steadfast in our faith.
Jude warns us about those who have crept into our midst unnoticed—individuals who dress like us, sing with us, and even lead within our church. They have chosen to abandon the true faith, becoming apostates, while still remaining among us. An apostate is a person who renounces or abandons their religious faith, principles, or cause. These individuals pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (Jude 1:4). As Jesus warned us, "They are wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15), pretending to be one of us while leading others astray.
Remember the examples Jude gave: the Israelites who were delivered from Egypt but later disbelieved, the angels who abandoned their proper dwelling, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. These serve as solemn reminders of the consequences of turning away from God's truth.
As faithful followers of Christ, we must keep the faith and continue to run the race set before us. Let us:
1. Evangelize: Boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all, sharing the transformative power of His love and salvation.
2. Convert: Encourage those around us to turn from false teachings and embrace the truth of the Christian faith, leading them to a personal relationship with Jesus.
3. Witness: Live out our faith authentically, showing the world the difference Jesus makes in our lives and standing firm against the influence of apostates.
Jude exhorts us to build ourselves up in our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and keeping ourselves in God’s love as we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring us to eternal life (Jude 1:20-21).
As Jude 22-23 (AMP), "And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom."
Together, let us safeguard the purity and integrity of our faith community, always vigilant and rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
Stay strong, dear Saints, and let the message of Jude be a guiding light as we navigate these challenging times. May we continue to uphold the banner of Christ, ever faithful, ever true.
In His service,
Pst. JK. Woodall, Ph.D.
