An Appeal to Contend

About this sermon

When Jude wrote to the Christians of his day, he wanted to focus on their common salvation—but instead, he found it necessary to urge them to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.” Alistair Begg surveys the warm greeting, necessary appeal, and chilling reminder in this neglected letter’s opening verses. While church history makes clear that periods of declension are inevitable, Jude’s words stir us to stand firm in our faith, trusting the God who calls, loves, and keeps us.
