We continue our exploration of Jude's powerful letter, examining his warnings about apostates who infiltrate the church while perverting God's grace.
• Three telltale signs of false converts: defiling the flesh, rejecting authority, and blaspheming spiritual realities
• The archangel Michael's respectful approach to spiritual authority contrasted with the apostates' arrogance
• False teachers act like unreasoning animals, driven by instinct rather than truth
• Biblical examples of apostasy through Cain, Balaam, and Korah who each sought their own glory
• Six vivid metaphors revealing apostates' true nature: hidden reefs, self-serving shepherds, waterless clouds, fruitless trees, wild waves, and wandering stars
• The "outer darkness" reserved as judgment for those who knowingly reject God's truth
Join us next week as we continue through the book of Jude, beginning at verse 14.
