What does Jude mean by 'hating even the garment spotted by the flesh'?

Answered in 1 source

This phrase signifies the need to detest sin and self-righteousness while embracing the righteousness of Christ.

In Jude 23, the exhortation to 'hate even the garment spotted by the flesh' highlights the importance of recognizing and rejecting sinful desires and self-righteous works. This means believers should not only avoid sin but also cultivate a strong disdain for anything that detracts from the holiness of Christ. Instead, they should embrace the purity and righteousness afforded to them through faith in Christ. By doing so, they embody the call to live a life that reflects God's holiness and grace.
