The Bible describes creeping deceivers in Jude as those who cause division and lead others away from the truth of Christ.
Creeping deceivers are characterized in the book of Jude as ungodly men who twist the grace of God into sinful behavior. They infiltrate the church under the guise of truth but ultimately deny the lordship of Christ and the purity He brings. Jude uses examples from history, such as Cain and Balaam, to show the consequences of their deceitful ways. Their presence is a reminder of the ongoing spiritual warfare within the church, and believers are called to remain vigilant and contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints.
