Jude 17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : Jude tells the believers to remember what the apostles said before. But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:17 ). They warned that people like these false teachers would come. Knowing this helps Christians not to be surprised or lose faith when they see problems in the church. God’s word is the best protection against being tricked by false ideas (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1 ; 2 Peter 3:3 ). Even when things are hard, Christians should hold on tightly to their faith, because Jesus promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18 ).

‏ Jude 17

v. 17: Jude tells the believers to remember what the apostles said before. But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:17 ^a). They warned that people like these false teachers would come. Knowing this helps Christians not to be surprised or lose faith when they see problems in the church. God’s word is the best protection against being tricked by false ideas (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1 ^b; 2 Peter 3:3 ^c). Even when things are hard, Christians should hold on tightly to their faith, because Jesus promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18 ^d).
