Jude 3 | MHM | STEP | The Common Salvation; Monuments of Judgment This section explains why Jude wrote his letter. He wanted to encourage believers—both Jews and Gentiles—who had recently come to faith in Jesus. Jude urges them to stay strong in the Christian faith, to live in a way that matches what they believe, and to be bold in their confession, especially when facing false teaching or persecution. He reminds them that the salvation offered in the gospel is for everyone who believes, and that Christians must work hard to defend the true faith against those who try to change or corrupt it. v. 3 : Jude says that he wanted to write about the salvation all Christians share, but he found it necessary to urge them to fight for the faith that was given once and for all to the saints. This faith is the message of salvation through Jesus, offered to everyone who hears it ( the gospel...preach the gospel to every creature , Mark 16:15 ). Believers must not add to or take away from this faith, but keep it pure and unchanged ( the faith once delivered to the saints , Jude 1:3 ).

v. 3: Jude says that he wanted to write about the salvation all Christians share, but he found it necessary to urge them to fight for the faith that was given once and for all to the saints. This faith is the message of salvation through Jesus, offered to everyone who hears it (the gospel...preach the gospel to every creature, Mark 16:15 ^a). Believers must not add to or take away from this faith, but keep it pure and unchanged (the faith once delivered to the saints, Jude 1:3 ^b).
