Today’s passage: Jude 5-7
Helpful thoughts:
- Jude gives a few examples from history to show that false teachers will also be judged righteously by God.
- Those three example are:
- The unbelieving Israelites during the exodus.
- The rebellious angels.
- The indulgent people of Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities.
Questions to consider:
- Who was responsible for the rescuing of Israel from Egypt and the judgment on those who rejected God and would not believe or obey? How does this affect how we see and understand Jesus and the Old Testament?
- In what way do the three adjectives above (Unbelieving, rebellious, indulgent) go together? How would the false teachers being discussed in the book possess and portray all three attributes?
- Why is it important for Christians to know that false teachers will be judged? How should this affect our posture and thinking concerning them (Ephesians 5:6-11)? How does it also humble us and remind us of our own rescue (Romans 3:23)?
