The book of Hebrews is the bridge that connects the Old Testament and the New. These covenants are completely different and yet many Christians approach God on the basis of Old Testament Law instead of New Testament faith. The entire book is about Jesus and how He is the guarantee of a new and better covenant. It is essential for every Christian to understand.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

Bible is Jesus
Old Testament makes promises about Christ

John tells us that Jesus is the word
Colossians tells us that Christ is God and all things are held together
by him and through him
3. “A man who loves his wife will love her
letters and her photographs because they
speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord
Jesus we shall love the Bible because it
speaks to us of him. The husband is not so
stupid as to prefer his wife’s letters to her
voice, or her photographs to herself. He
simply loves them because of her. So, too, we
love the Bible because of Christ. It is his
portrait. It is his love-letter.”
John Stott,
