JUDE 1:3
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.
Isn't it strange how things often never change? Jude's warning is as vital today as it was 2000 years ago. There is always a need to defend against change. Some areas of life need change . . . Worshiping God needs no change. God wants us to worship Him as He directs.
Sometimes we step beyond our authority and try to make changes that make sense to us . . . However, if the changes are not in line with what God wants, no matter what we might think, they will not be acceptable, or do us any good.
Jude's use of the word, "defend," also gives an insight into change . . . It is something we must actively watch for and guard against. We sometimes make changes that we don't even realize we are making -- even those changes will not be acceptable.
