The document discusses the kingdom of God from the perspectives of Jesus, his followers, and the modern church. It provides biblical passages where Jesus teaches about entering the kingdom of God and belonging to it like a child. It then explains how the meaning of the kingdom of God has evolved from referring to God's rule over Israel to encompassing God's sovereign rule over all creation through Jesus and the church. The document encourages believers to live out the kingdom of God by loving God and others as taught in the Jesus Creed.

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. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
