What happens when false teaching creeps into the church? In his letter, Jude warns believers with some of the most sobering examples in Scripture -- from Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16 to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah -- reminding us that God still judges between the righteous and the guilty, no matter where they sit.
Jude points to three dangerous patterns: works without faith (the way of Cain), religion pursued for personal gain (the error of Balaam), and the rejection of God's ordained authority (the rebellion of Korah). These are not just ancient problems -- we are watching them unfold in the 21st century.
The good news? The head of the church is Christ himself. His words are clear -- faith in him is what saves (John 3:16, Romans 10:9). Scripture is the objective standard, and it is enough. Do not let ecclesial anxiety or false voices pull you away from the simplicity of trusting him.
