“Our Eternal Security” Jude 1:24-25

TRANSCRIPT

Date: August 5, 2026 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Tonight at 6:00 PM, we will conclude our study of Jude’s Epistle. Written by Jesus’ half-brother, Jude warned first-century Christians about corrupt teachers who had infiltrated the church. His message is clear: Christians are to Earnestly Contend for the Faith . Each Christian generation has a duty to guard the pure faith and pass it safely to those who follow. Psalm 78 says each generation should tell the next generation about the mighty acts of God. Paul told Timothy to guard the good truth with help from the Holy Spirit, and when Paul came to the end of his ministry, he said, “ For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” This is our call to do the same. Join us live at 6:00 PM for the study: www.theheritagechurch.org The sermon will be available on our Website and on YouTube.

The Epistle of Jude was written 70 years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But because the Holy Spirit inspired it, this letter gives a perfect description of the spiritual condition of the church in the last days of the church age and, therefore, a perfect picture of the church today.

Jesus warned His disciples about the rise of false teachers, as did the Apostles Paul, Peter, and John. Some 70 years after the resurrection of Christ, Jude said the false teachers were here, and they were leading the spiritually immature away from the true faith.

“With the spirit of the Antichrist so clear, the Antichrist himself must be near, which means the true Church of Jesus Christ will soon be out of here!”

In verse 2, Jude said those who truly receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are “Called, Sanctified, and Preserved” by their faith alone, in Christ alone. However, he urged us to hold on to that true faith that was given to us by God’s grace by:

The most important doctrine of our salvation is our eternal security, which is called the Perseverance of the Saints, that biblical truth that says once we are saved, we are saved forever, or to put it negatively, once we have been born again, we cannot be unborn, or once we have received God’s gift of everlasting life, it cannot be taken away.

This passage is called a “doxology!”
