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.

10. 2 Peter 3:15-18
15 And count the patience of our
Lord as salvation, just as our
beloved brother Paul also
wrote to you according to the
wisdom given him,
11. 2 Peter 3:15-18
16 as he does in all his letters when
he speaks in them of these
matters. There are some things
in them that are hard to
understand, which the ignorant
and unstable twist to their own
destruction, as they do the other
Scriptures.
12. 2 Peter 3:15-18
16 as he does in all his letters when
he speaks in them of these
matters. There are some things
in them that are hard to
understand, which the ignorant
and unstable twist to their own
destruction, as they do the
other Scriptures.
13. 2 Peter 3:15-18
17 You therefore, beloved,
knowing this beforehand,
take care that you are not
carried away with the error of
lawless people and lose your
own stability.
14. 2 Peter 3:15-18
18 But grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To him
be the glory both now and to
the day of eternity. Amen.
15. Romans 16:17-18
17 I appeal to you, brothers, to
watch out for those who
cause divisions and create
obstacles contrary to the
doctrine that you have been
taught; avoid them.
16. Romans 16:17-18
18 For such persons do not
serve our Lord Christ, but
their own appetites, and by
smooth talk and flattery they
deceive the hearts of the
naive.
19. Holy
It signifies (a) separation to God
(b) the resultant state, the
conduct befitting those so
separated,
Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., & White, W., Jr. (1996). Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary
of Old and New Testament Words (Vol. 2, p. 307). Nashville, TN: T. Nelson.
23. Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is the assurance of
things hoped for, the
conviction of things not seen.
24. Romans 10:17
17 So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing
through the word of Christ.
25. Hebrews 11:6
6 And without faith it is
impossible to please him, for
whoever would draw near to
God must believe that he
exists and that he rewards
those who seek him.
26. James 2:14
14 What good is it, my brothers,
if someone says he has faith
but does not have works?
Can that faith save him?
27. James 2:17-19
17 So also faith by itself, if it
does not have works, is
dead.
28. James 2:17-19
18 But someone will say, “You
have faith and I have works.”
Show me your faith apart
from your works, and I will
show you my faith by my
works.
29. James 2:17-19
19 You believe that God is one;
you do well. Even the
demons believe—and
shudder!
30. James 2:26
26 For as the body apart from
the spirit is dead, so also faith
apart from works is dead.
36. Confession
“to express openly one’s
allegiance to a proposition
or person—‘to profess, to
confess, confession.”
Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996). Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament:
based on semantic domains (electronic ed. of the 2nd edition., Vol. 1, p. 417). New
York: United Bible Societies.
37. Matthew 10:32-33
32 So everyone who
acknowledges me before
men, I also will
acknowledge before my
Father who is in heaven,
38. Matthew 10:32-33
33 but whoever denies me
before men, I also will deny
before my Father who is in
heaven.
39. John 12:42-43
42 Nevertheless, many even of
the authorities believed in
him, but for fear of the
Pharisees they did not
confess it, so that they would
not be put out of the
synagogue;
40. John 12:42-43
43 for they loved the glory that
comes from man more than
the glory that comes from
God.
41. 1 Timothy 6:12
12 Fight the good fight of the
faith. Take hold of the eternal
life to which you were called
and about which you made
the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses.
43. Romans 10:9-10
9 because, if you confess
with your mouth that
Jesus is Lord and believe
in your heart that God
raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.
44. Romans 10:9-10
10 For with the heart one
believes and is justified,
and with the mouth one
confesses and is saved.
46. Baptism a made up word
• To dip, plunge or immerse
• To sink a ship
• “βαπτίζειν means technically
‘to baptise in water.’ Hence it
is unnecessary to specify a
medium.”
• Kittel, G., Bromiley, G. W., & Friedrich, G. (Eds.). (1964). Theological dictionary of
the New Testament (electronic ed., Vol. 1, p. 539). Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans.
50. Galatians 3:26-27
26 for in Christ Jesus you are
all sons of God, through
faith.
27 For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ
have put on Christ.
51. Its Purpose
• The remission of sins
• To unite us with Christ.
• To obtain a good conscience
52. 1 Peter 3:21
21 Baptism, which corresponds
to this, now saves you, not as
a removal of dirt from the
body but as an appeal to God
for a good conscience,
through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ,
53. Its Purpose
• The remission of sins
• To unite us with Christ.
• For a good conscience
• To rise to a new life
54. Romans 6:4
4 We were buried therefore with
him by baptism into death, in
order that, just as Christ was
raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, we too
might walk in newness of
life.
55. 2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new
creation. The old has
passed away; behold, the
new has come.
