La predicación de Joel Coyoc en "Detectando la Infiltración" se centra en la epístola de Judas, específicamente en los versículos 8-10, donde se advierte sobre aquellos que, infiltrándose en la comunidad de fe, pervierten la gracia de Dios y rechazan Su autoridad. El autor destaca cómo estas "manchas" en la iglesia actúan como soñadores que contaminan su propia carne y blasfeman de los poderes espirituales. Coyoc alude a ejemplos bíblicos como el juicio de Sodoma y Gomorra, así como el confrontamiento entre el arcángel Miguel y el diablo, para enfatizar la necesidad de discernimiento espiritual. La predicación resalta que los creyentes deben vigilarsus propios corazones y buscar la santidad en lugar de condenar a los demás, recordando que la verdadera libertad se encuentra en vivir bajo el señorío de Cristo. El mensaje enfatiza que sólo a través de la gracia y en fe se pueden superar las tendencias de la carne y las falsas enseñanzas.

The Bible warns against false teachers who infiltrate the church and distort the grace of God, as seen in Jude 8-10.
In the Epistle of Jude, we are cautioned about false teachers who secretly infiltrate the church, transforming the grace of God into licentiousness and denying the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 8-10). These deceivers manifest characteristics of rebellion, much like the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, and are described as those who blaspheme whatever they do not understand. False teachers live not by the truth of Scripture but by their own desires and dreams, leading themselves and others astray. Jude calls us to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints, highlighting the necessity of vigilance and reliance on God’s Word to guard against such infiltration.
Jude 8-10
Contending for the faith is essential as it protects the church from false teachings that distort God's grace.
Jude writes to urge believers to contend for the faith that has been entrusted to them, emphasizing that deviation from sound doctrine can lead to spiritual decay and destruction. The presence of false teachers within the church creates a need for believers to be vigilant, grounded in the truth of Scripture, and aware of how easily the enemy can sow discord and deception among them. The importance of standing firm in faith, rejecting distortions of the Gospel, and promoting the true grace of God cannot be overstated. This contestation for the faith reflects not merely a defense of doctrine but an upholding of the very character of God, who is true and faithful.
Jude 3, Jude 4
Human nature is prone to sin, which can lead to spiritual infiltration and deception if not guarded against.
The human heart is naturally inclined towards sin, suggesting that spiritual infiltration can occur within the church when believers neglect to guard their hearts and minds against falsehood. Jude highlights that believers must recognize their ongoing struggle with the residual sin remaining even after salvation. Recognizing that spiritual battles are fought not just externally but within our hearts helps believers remain alert to the subtle ways in which sin can creep in under the guise of grace. By understanding and confronting their own vulnerabilities in light of God's Word, Christians can better prevent the infiltration of false teachings that might appeal to their sinful inclinations.
Jude 8, Jude 10, James 1:14-15
