verses. Jude, the servant of
Jesus Christ and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by
God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ and called, mercy
unto you and peace and love be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave
all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was
needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints. For there are certain men crept
in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God says that the
whole world lieth in the lap of the wicked one. The Word of
God says that because iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes
cold. Now the church lives in an evil
and an infectious environment. And beloved, if you have to live
in an infected environment, it'll help you to ward off disease
if you yourself are in good health and if you're vigorous and robust.
Now the Apostle Jude, writing here this short epistle, very
forceful epistle, he talks about some evil times that had come
upon the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he tells them in
verse 3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
of the common salvation, He mentions here the common salvation, meaning
that salvation which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ purchased
with His own blood, that salvation which is set forth in the gospel
of redeeming grace, that salvation which is so wonderful and amazing
that those that know Christ that their sins are completely pardoned,
that their sins have been put away, they've been cast behind
the back of our Lord, as far as the East is from the West,
never to be remembered against us anymore. And so he says, I've
written unto you about the common salvation. Somebody says, if
it's so common, surely there's been enough said about it already,
and surely there's been enough written about it already. But
James does not feel that way. James is aware that they're living
in this infected environment, and that they need to hear again
the message concerning the common salvation of our Lord. He says,
it was needful for me to write unto you. Now we ought to learn
a lesson, I believe, from this, that he did not write to them
just for writing's sake. And He did not preach to them
just for preaching's sake. He, beloved, spoke to them. He
wrote to them because He must do so. It was needful, He says. I gave all diligence to write
unto you because, He says, it was needful for Me to write unto
you. Now, beloved, unless a man feels
it to be an imperative necessity to speak the Word of God and
to preach the message of the Word of God, he will not speak
as the ambassador for God. He will not deliver his message
with the power of the Holy Spirit and in that spirit which God
would be pleased to bless and edify and use among his hearers. And so, beloved, he felt it necessary,
necessity was laid upon him. You remember the words of the
apostle Paul, another one of the apostles, who said, Woe is
me if I preach not the gospel. Woe is me if I lay not down the
plain facts of the gospel and the root of the matter over and
over again, because it's necessity that I do so. He said that you
should earnestly contend. I preach to you, I write to you,
in order that you might be exhorted to earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered unto the saints." The faith.
Now when he speaks of the faith here, he's talking about that
whole scheme of the truth of the gospel. He's talking about
the whole of the counsel of God that has been preached. This
is the faith that's been revealed. All of the doctrines of the holy
and sacred Word of God. He says, I exhort you that you
should earnestly contend for the faith. that's wrapped up
in all of the doctrines of God's Holy Word, which was once, he
says, delivered unto the saints. It was one time delivered by
the holy apostles and prophets of our Lord Jesus Christ. It
should be adhered to, and it should be meditated upon, and
we should remain constant in our defense of it. And we must
contend for the truths of the Word of God. Now, this is a day
and time when there needs to be men and women who will, with
a single eye, the truths of the Holy Gospel and stand firm on
those Gospels. We know that there are many,
many Gospels in the world, and the Scripture says there actually
is but one gospel and their perversions of that gospel. Now, beloved,
we need a great deal of wisdom. We need a great deal of understanding.
We need the Spirit's insight to be able to rightly understand
what is the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. And then,
once that gospel is revealed, made known to our hearts, then
we can stand and we can contend for that gospel as long as God
allows us to live in this world. Now, beloved, if we're going
to be strong and robust, if we're going to be in good health as
God's people, then we must understand some basic fundamental truths
of God's Word. Now, Jude in the first verse
laid out to us here some things that I believe are very important
that we understand, very important concerning our foundation in
the faith. He speaks of them that are sanctified
by God the Father, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called. And I hope this morning, a little
later in our message as we deal with these things, that there
would be a measure of renewed health and vigor given back to
our hearts and souls. Now in verse 4, let me make just
a few statements here. For there are certain men crept
in unawares. That is, that there were certain
men in this infectious environment, and I would remind you again
that health is not catching, but disease is catching. Disease is catching. Error is
catching. A little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump. But here he says that there are
certain men that have crept into the church and unawares, he says,
unawares to the members of the church. Unawares to those that
make up the local body. Unaware to those that assemble
together from week to week, from day to day. Unawares they have
crept in unto the assembly of the saints. But not unaware unto
God, as he goes on to say, who were before of old ordained to
this condemnation. Now that might be a little plain,
a little bold for you who have questions in your mind about
the absolute sovereignty of God. You may wonder about something
like this happening and that God himself of old had ordained
that these heresies and that these men who would pervert the
grace of God and turn the very grace of God into lasciviousness
that they would be ordained of God of old to this condemnation. That they would come in to an
assembly of the saints of God and they would attempt to turn
away those who had heard the gospel and received the gospel
into a way of life that would be contrary to God Almighty and
contrary to His Son. Lasciviousness, unrestrained
indecency, wantonness. These are sins of the flesh according
to Galatians 5 and verse 19. And these men have turned the
grace of our God. They have become antinomians
in that they are lawless men who have said that the grace
of God gives them a license to sin. They had took that liberty
that we have in the gospel and they had turned that into a license
to go out and live in unrestrained indecency and bring shame upon
the gospel of God's grace. And so a Jew warns them of this
and says you need to be healthy, robust, and you need to be vigorous
in order that you'd be able to stand against such things as
these. The Bible says in Corinthians that there must needs be heresies
among you that they which are approved may be made manifest. And so beloved God in his wisdom
allows us to live in the environment that we're living in. And the
best protection against evil doctrine and practice will be
the cultivation of a right state of heart and life, a continual
growth, in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord. Be right, I say
to you, brethren and sisters in the Lord, be right in yourself. Remember Paul's words to Timothy.
In 1 Timothy 4 and 16, he said, take heed unto thyself and unto
the doctrine continuing them. And when these two matters are
as they should be, then we will be no more children tossed to
and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the
slight of men and the cunning craftiness whereby they lie and
wait to deceive, Ephesians 4 and verse 14. Well, beloved, here
this morning I am, God willing, going to speak on just verse
1 and 2, and we'll have three things to talk about. Number
one, we have here a special man, and that man is Jude, and he
is the servant, or the apostle, of Jesus Christ, and he's the
brother of James. Number two, we'll talk a little
bit about the special people to whom the epistle is written.
Those whom he mentions here are sanctified by God the Father. They're preserved in Jesus Christ,
having been called of God. Now, number three, there's a
special benediction. So we have, first of all, we
have a special man. We have a special servant of
God. Secondly, we have a special people.
And thirdly, we have a special benediction. First of all, then,
the apostle who wrote this epistle, I call him a special man. He was so because he was the
half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the younger son
of Joseph and Mary. And he begins this short epistle
with his own name, Jude. This is how he begins this epistle. That is to say, by Judas. because his name was really Judas. Now it was not Judas Iscariot,
and herein lies the specialty of his name. This Judas was not
the son of prediction, but a true son of God. He was a sincere
and earnest-hearted believer. Yet when he wrote his own name
down, Judas, which we pronounce short as Jude, I think that tears
must have come to his eyes as he remembered that other Judas
with the same name and the very same nature by birth. to himself, he might have proved
a traitor to his master, like the other Judas did, but the
grace of God had intervened in this man's life and made a difference
in this Judas's life. He was made to differ from the
man who betrayed his Lord by grace. By the grace of God, he
was different. Mark it down, beloved, the only
difference. between the worst sinner out
of hell and the best saint this side of heaven is the grace of
God. Is that right? I'll tell you
that's the truth. Now if it had been your case
or mine, I'm sure that we could not have written our name without
reflecting upon our obligations to the sovereign grace of God
which kept us from being a son of perdition ourselves. Now remember
John Bradford? when watching a criminal go by
on his way to be hanged, said, there go I, but by the grace
of God. And there would have gone this
other Judas, but for the grace of God that restrained him. Now
the Holy Spirit is very particular about this. We cannot mistake
this Judas for Judas Iscariot. Because in John 14 verse 22,
there was a question where Jesus made the statement that he would
manifest himself to the disciples in a way that he would not unto
the world. And then it says that Judas, not Iscariot, This Judas,
not Iscariot, asked the Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us and not unto the world? So the Holy Spirit
records the name of the one asking the question as Judas, not Iscariot. What a mystery and what a mercy.
There are those, beloved, in hell this very hour who had in
this life our very name. Recently, I was looking into
some genealogy, background of our family, and I was amazed
to find in the census of 1880 in the county, Monroe County
in Indiana where I was born, I was amazed to find John Mitchells,
John Mitchells, John Mitchells in that county back in 1880,
long before I was born. And I wondered to myself at that
time, how many of those John Mitchells are in hell today? How many of them? Well, beloved,
there are John Mitchells in hell. I believe it. Do you believe
that there's anybody in hell that have lived in this world
and died with your name that's in hell today? Do you believe
that? Well, my friend, I think you
ought to believe that. Beloved, cultivate the habit
of not thinking of your own name without thinking of that name
which is above every name but which your name has been rescued
from the blackness and the darkness, the Egyptian darkness that men
are in by nature and placed in the Lord or the Lamb's Book of
Life from the foundation of the world. Every time you think,
every time you write down your name, write it down. I'm not
a son of perdition. Think about it. I'm not a lost
soul. There are people that have my
name that's already there, already burning in the eternal flames
of hell. What a mercy that I've been spared.
What a mercy that I'm still out breathing the breath of life
and are free in my own soul to enjoy the blessings of Almighty
God. So you see, there was something
very special about the name Jude. Very special. Alright, then there
was his office. This was a special office. Jude
was the servant, the Bible says, of Jesus Christ. That means that
he was the bondservant of Jesus Christ. It means that he was
the slave of Christ. It means that Christ had taken
him on as being his slave, his servant. Now in the original,
this term bond slave or servant sets forth the completeness of
his service to God and it declares how perfectly he belonged to
Christ. He was not a servant who could
come and go at his own pleasure, no he could not, but he was the
bond servant of Jesus Christ. He was a free man that was non-freer
Yet he as a servant of Christ wore the chains of love which
were as soft as silk and yet as strong as steel. He was a
bondservant, a slave of the Master. He rejoiced to feel that he had
no liberty in and of himself to run away from Christ and to
that life which Christ had called him to live. His ear had been
bored to the doorpost of his house, to be his servant through
his whole lifetime and yea throughout eternity. He was the bondservant
of Christ. This is what he means when he
says the servant of Jesus Christ. He was purchased. He was a purchased
bondslayer. He'd been bought with a price. Bought and paid for. Do you own
this in your own life? Now as a believer you say, I'm
truly a son of God. I truly am a believer in the
Lord Jesus Christ. I know myself to be in Christ. I know that I belong to Him.
Well, beloved, do you own the fact that He bought you with
His own life laid down and that He shed His blood in order to
redeem you back from the slave market of sin? Do you own that
in your life? It's one thing to hear somebody
say it. It's another thing for a person to own it in their own
life. We have no ownership rights over
ourselves. We were dead, and then he died
for us, suffered our death in our room and stayed in place.
And through his death, we have been brought to life. We henceforth
shall not live unto ourself, but unto him who died and rose
again. Well, let the man who loves himself
go his own way. Let him do his own thing. Let
him be his own, and let him spend his life, and he'll lose it in
the life to come. that we will go Christ's way,
we will lose our life here, that we might save it unto eternity. He, Jude, belonged undoubtedly,
irrevocably, eternally to the Lord Jesus Christ, and he gloried
in that fact. Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ. And then he had a special relation
that's mentioned here, and he said, and brother of James. Now he felt as if he was a favored
person because he had a brother that was a famous servant of
God also, known in the scriptures as James the Less, known among
the Jews of old as James the Just. He was known for holiness
and piety and for writing scripture. James, the brother of Jews. He
was known, I say, for holiness and piety. He was famous in the
early church. Beloved, Is it not a great mercy
in this life to be associated with those who are associated
with the Son of God? Those who are associated with
the Lord. May our children be His children. May our friends
be His friends. May our brothers be our brothers
in Christ. This beloved makes any relationship
a special relationship. If you're my brother in Christ,
I praise God for that. I rejoice in that. I glory in
that. I rejoice and glory in the fact
that my children are the children of the living God. And I know
that you, here that have children that are saved, I know you rejoice
in that too. And so it's wonderful to be associated
with those that are associated with Him. Alright, number two,
let us think of this special people to whom Jude wrote this
epistle. Now the revised version has,
I doubt not, the correct translation. To them that are beloved in God
the Father and kept for Jesus Christ being called, having been
called. Now this is that special people.
Now when we understand these things that are mentioned, it
will make us healthier in the things of the gospel. It will
set us that we will be courageous and bold to defend the truths
that was once delivered unto the saints. These special people,
it is said, that they were beloved of God, that they were sanctified,
that they had been set apart by God. Now, according to the
truth of the gospel, God's people are loved in Christ. They were
loved in Christ for before the foundation of the world. They
were loved by our Heavenly Father. And we ought to cling to this
at all times, that God loves me. Now, beloved, I have no respect
for a bumper sticker that says God loves you. I have no respect
for that. I want to know God's individual
and special affection and love for me. I do not know anything
about who God loves except I know that he loves his people. I know
that beyond a shadow of a doubt. I know God loves all of those
that are in Christ. Now if I'm in the Lord Jesus
Christ, I have right to lay claim to the love of God, and I have
right to cling to the truth that God loves my soul. Beloved, you
are sanctified in Christ. Meaning, by reason of that great
love wherewith he loved you, that through that eternal love
which you have experienced in Christ, that he has set you apart
unto himself. that you belong to Him. He set
you apart unto Himself. Listen, to His spiritual Israel,
the Lord still says, you only have I known of all the families
of the earth. The Lord's still saying that
to His spiritual Israel, to all of those who are regenerate,
to all of those who have been born again. They shall be mine,
saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels. Wherever the earth was, or sun
or moon or stars begin to shine, the eye of God was fixed upon
His beloved ones, and He set them apart unto himself. Do you feel like God has set
you apart unto himself? If you're saved, he has. If you're
saved, he has. If Jesus laid down his life for
you, you are set apart unto God. For the Lord's portion is his
people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. This people, he says, have I
formed for myself. They shall show forth my praise. Their vessels meet for the Master's
use, lamps in which the light of God is to be carried to a
darkened world. These are that special people
that are set apart unto God. Now, I read a little story about
a French woman in Paris. She was a blind woman, and she
went to church after visiting with her friends. And she put
in, I think it was, 27 francs into the offering plate. And
the lady that had a hold of her, kind of being her seeing eyes,
leading her around, said, you can't afford to do that. And
she said, well, my friends spent 27 francs, I was talking to them
last evening, for for oral for their lamps. I'm blind. I don't use any oral in my lamp. And so I put the 27 francs in
the missionary offering so that the light of God can be carried
to a darkened world. These are people set apart unto
God and to the purpose that God has for their life. They're the
salt of the earth. They are the salt by which his preserving power should be
made manifest amidst the putrefaction of the world. The people, he
says, I have formed for myself. Do you feel like you belong to
God? Do you feel like He owns you? This people have our form
from ourselves, beloved in God the Father, sanctified, set apart
by God the Father. Love has a separating influence
upon its object. cannot help but have. Did you
hear what I said? Love has a separating influence
upon its object. Now beloved, if I know that God
loves me, I am by that love separated unto Him. I must be! How can
I be a traitor to God Almighty who loved me, loved me out of
my sins, loved me out of my death, my spiritual death, and loved
me into the life and liberty that's in His eternal Son? How
can I be a traitor to that love? So has the love of God separated
you? He said you're beloved of God,
Jude says. Now, if the love of a man is
fixed upon a woman, he calls her his bride, and he looks upon
her as different from all other women on the face of the earth.
She is in his thoughts, and she is in his heart. Even so, hath God taken unto
himself a people who are his alone. Alone. Alone. Now, in addition to this, these
special people are also preserved in Christ Jesus. Now the exact
translation means or says kept for Jesus Christ. Kept for Jesus
Christ. Kept for Jesus Christ as jewels
that he alone must wear at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
The marriage supper of the Lamb has come. When he cometh, when
he cometh, remember that song, he'll gather his jewels. A garden
enclosed, says the song of Solomon, is my sister, my spouse, a spring
shut up, a fountain sealed. The Lord's people, those that
know Christ, kept for Jesus Christ. Well, what do we have to do with
idols? if we're kept for Jesus Christ. What have I to do with
seeking the things of this world? If we be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ is seated at the
right hand of God. What have I to do with living
for myself? Well, you know, I've heard so
many people talk in my experience back through the years, telling
me, you know, that they have got a right to do what they want
to do, with their life, they can do as they please. Well,
you know you can do what you please if you're not kept for
Him. And if you're not kept for Him,
it won't make any difference, because you're dying and going
to hell, you'll be ruined for all eternity, and it doesn't
matter. But if you're His, then what have you to do with this
business of saying, I'm my own, and it'll be according to my
mind, or it won't be. I'll do what I please to do. What have I to do with the sayings
of the worldly wise? What have I to do with the judgments
of the men of this world? Those who would pass judgment
saying this is the way, walk ye in it. My friend, we listen
to Christ. He is the master of his people
and we follow him. What have I to do with anything
but this? kept for Jesus Christ. So being that we're kept for
Jesus Christ, let us have no eyes but for Jesus. No eyes but
for Jesus. There was a prince that was going
to be crowned. There was a general and his wife
in the army of that country that were invited to the crowning
of the prince. The general was tied up, he was
unable to go, but the wife went, the wife of the general. When
she returned home, the general said, was not the prince a handsome
man? And she says, I do not know.
I paid no attention. I have eyes only for my husband. And beloved, that's the way it
is with the people of God. Let us have no eyes, but for
Jesus. No ears, but for Jesus. No tongue, but for Jesus. No,
listen to me, let us, as the old song says, let us be ever
only all for Him. Because we're kept for Jesus
Christ, kept for Jesus Christ. You must not touch that treasure,
my friend. It is set apart for the king.
You must not meddle with that man, my friend, or that woman,
my friend. They are kept for Jesus Christ. They belong to him. You meddle
not with them. You leave them be, and you leave
them with the Lord. Others may be filthy dreamers,
but these are kept for Jesus Christ. Some may be wondering
stars or trees plucked up by the roots, but these people are
kept for Jesus Christ. Kept by Him, kept in Him, and
bless God, specially kept for Him. They're the Lord's people. Then Jude adds and called. Those
who were beloved, sanctified, preserved were also called, just
as Lazarus was called forth out of the grave So it was with these
people, and so it was with us. We recall there was a day when
we heard the voice of God. You were dead in sin, my friend,
but a call from Christ. Of course, we lose sight of that.
How dead we were, we didn't have enough life to know our death
until the Spirit of God came and illuminated our hearts. We
were dead in sin, but a call from Christ came, and you heard
it in your soul, and you arose and you went forth to follow
Him. It is a voice the world has never
heard. It is a face the world has never
seen. It is a hand, a mystic hand that
the world has never felt, a love never known, a salvation never
experienced. And one day as we've heard that
voice calling us out of spiritual death into Christ, into life,
we shall hear that voice saying, come up hither. Come up hither.
Come up hither also. Come be with me. That voice is
coming again for every one of the Lord's living family. Now the blessings of the gospel
belong to men and women such as these that have been described,
who have been set apart by divine love, who have been held, reserved,
apart, and consecrated to Christ out of the whole world. Everybody
that's in it. who have been taken apart by
effectual calling and so made to dwell apart to the glory of
Christ alone and for His use only. Is that right? You say,
Preacher, that's pretty narrow-minded. That's pretty narrow-minded.
Well, I'm telling you what the Word of God says. This is what
Jude's saying here. These people are the ones that
are content for the faith. So this is that special people.
Now thirdly and hurriedly, a special benediction which you'd wish
to these people. This is my special desire, he
says, and prayer to God for you that are separated unto him that
mercy and peace and love may be multiplied unto you. Beloved, may you all have mercy. May you all have mercy. I say
that there's not one among us who does not need mercy. Every one of us need mercy. You
always, you will always need mercy as long as you're in this
world. Need the mercy of God. You don't feel that every time
you get out on the highway. You don't feel Every day when
you get up in the morning, Lord, I just need mercy. That's what
I need. I need your mercy. Well, even a saint needs mercy. He's a sinner still. Even a saint
is a sinner still. Mercy that will continue to forgive
your sin. Mercy that will wash your feet
from the defilements that are in the way day by day as we walk
in this world. The mercies of providence that
will supply your need. mercies that will sustain you
under trial, mercies that will lead you on from strength to
strength. It is said of God, brother, sister, that he delighteth
in mercy. And next, and peace. Oh, may
we have peace. I'll tell you, if God gives it,
he said, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled.
If he gives you peace, you've got it. And if he don't give
it to you, you haven't got it. And most of us know what it is
to live some days without having much peace. But he said, peace
be multiplied unto you. Next he says, love, a sense of
the love of God, shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost,
a ravishing realization that God loves us with that everlasting
love which knows no measure, no change, no end. He said, that
be multiplied unto you. The benediction of the Apostle
is this, that the mercy, peace, and love may be multiplied to
you. A beautiful word, that word multiplied. Think about it just a moment.
You know what that is, I think. Oh, that we had all those blessings
multiplied. Think of it, multiplied. You
think God can multiply all of His blessings? I do. Mercy, ten
times more. than we ever have known. Hallelujah. What that would do to this fellow. Ten times more mercy than I ever
had before. You need ten times more mercy
than you ever had before. Smiling there like a possum eating
briars. You need ten times more mercy
than you ever had before. Peace, deeper, fuller, richer,
more abiding. Peace, peace upon peace. Peace, that passive understanding. And then love multiplied. May the love of God equal the
national debt. Those are the biggest figures
I ever have in my life ever come across. May the love of God equal
the national debt. Would you like to get in on that?
I certainly would. No matter if you had to be I
think no man ever yet had too much of the love of God in his
own soul. Love to the brethren. The love
of God. The love of God. How rich. How pure. There was
a boy, young man, the age of some of you young men, and he
denounced his mother and dad and left home. And he was gone
for many years. And he wrote a letter back home
to his mother and said, I'm going to come back. And if you'll have
me, put a white handkerchief on the clothesline. The train
comes very near your back door. And when I come by on the train,
I'll be looking for it. If you'll have me, put that white
handkerchief, put a white handkerchief on the clothesline. So the story
is that he got on the train and he came to where the house was
and he looked and there was no white handkerchief. on the clothesline,
but the clothesline was full of white sheets. And you think
about that. And that's the love of God. Multiply. Multiply. The love of God. The
love of these parents. They demonstrated it by hanging
these sheets on the line. Well, it's an evil time. You
see now what Jude is talking about. Well, he says, mercy and
peace and love be multiplied unto you. The graces of the Christian
will be, I believe, the defeat of the enemy. If you want to
impress or to improve a dark night, I think what we need is
brighter stars, don't you? We need brighter stars. If you
would enlighten a dark age, you let your light so shine. If we
live holy to God, people would know better what a Christian
was. if we live wholly unto God. I remember that little boy that
his daddy was reading to him and telling him, reading to him
about a Christian, being a Christian. The disciples were called Christians
first at Antioch. His father was trying to tell
him what a Christian was. And the little boy, when he was
finished, said to him, said, Daddy, have I ever seen one? Have I ever seen one? That's
a pretty good question. Have I ever saw a Christian?
Have I ever saw one? It is said the short way to the
conversion of sinners is the sanctification of the saints.
What do you think of that? I think that's true. I think
God's people need to be healthier, robust in the faith, vigorous
in the faith of the gospel. If we had more faith, we would
preach better and we'd live better. If we live near to God, it would
be better for those who live near to us. Is that right? Amen? It would be better for them.
Is it not written that when a man receives the water of life into
