With everything that’s happened in the last few years, or even in the last two weeks, I believe the Lord Jesus is just about ready to step out on the front porch of the Father’s House and call His Bride to “come forth!”  Obviously, such timing rests in God’s sovereignty, but my prayer is that should that call come today, we would all be ready!! Today’s pulpits are proclaiming the very demonic doctrines Paul warned us about, and many people are falling prey to Satan’s deceptive schemes and deadly delusions. My goal in this sermon is to assure you, God is able to “keep [us] from stumbling and to present [us] before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy!” We will explain this further in our next sermon, “ Earnestly Contending for the Faith.” In this last sermon from the Epistle of Jude, we want to look at “Our Eternal Security.”

New Testament Reading – Romans 16:25-27

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.

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,”
