Jude 1:3 ‘Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.’
Jude emphasizes the important relationship between correct doctrine and true faith. The truth of the Bible must not be compromised because it gives us the real facts about Jesus and salvation. The Bible is inspired by God and should never be twisted or manipulated; when it is, we can become confused over right and wrong and lose sight of the only path that leads to the truth of eternal life. The Jews received the truth through Moses and yet once he died, they still, despite the efforts of the Archangel Michael (vs 9), twisted the truth of God’s Word into man’s interpretation being Judaism (Deut 34:6). Only the truth sets one free (Jn 8:32), religion/twisted truth leads to confusion/doubt which is of satan.
One can’t defend what one does not know, thus they become susceptible to selfish beliefs and interpretations for their own convenience… HSAY
