Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold
Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Letter of Jude is one of the most polemical portions of the New Testament. The purpose of Jude, the brother of the Lord, in writing this letter was to appeal to his readers "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (v.3).

We do not disparage them; we rather prefer to try to develop our own from certain basic Christian concepts.
