Episode notes
Identity Before Instruction
- Jude frames believers by what they are rather than where they are, emphasizing identity over location.
- This identity (called, beloved, kept) anchors the congregation before he addresses serious threats.
Called Means Belonging
- Being 'called' means belonging to a long redemptive line and is more than an invitation.
- Jude reminds readers their calling is rooted in God's free decision to gather a people from all nations.
Secure Love That Keeps
- God loves believers proactively; the emphasis is on 'he loved us' not our love for him.
- That secure, enduring love undergirds the reassurance that Christians are 'kept for Jesus Christ.'
