Jude addresses a church in which false teaching has begun eating away the church's testimony from within, and cultural pressures to accommodate paganism squeezes the church from without. In this situation Jude encourages the church to remain faithful to Jesus while gently extending Christ's mercy to those who are struggling with sin, keeping before her at all times the sovereign lordship of Jesus over all things and his ultimate return to give eternal life to all who believe in him and to rule forever over his new creation.
