Something causing division in the church must have happened as Jude planned to write a different message. (v 3-4) Instead he penned this short and stern warning letter. False teachers are described with blunt epithets by Jude. When the reader is addressed directly, he is told to become mature in their own faith so they can rescue those that suffer from the error of these false teachers.

The writer compares the struggles we face to a child being disciplined by his father. Fathers discipline their children out of love.
Avoid things that might cause sinfulness. These things can sneak into one’s life and cause him to be lost.
