The Faith Was Delivered to the Saints in the Time of Jude

The Faith Was Delivered

• Jude 3 “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning the

common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to

contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” (Vine “what is perpetual validity, not requiring repetition”)

• John 16:12-14

The BibleThis book contains the mind of God;

the state of man; the way of salvation; the doom of sinners, and the happiness of the righteous. Its

doctrines are holy; its precepts binding; its records are true; and all

its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise; believe it to be safe; and practice it to be holy. It

contains light to direct you; food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the

pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, the Christian’s

charter.

Here paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the ways of hell

disclosed. Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the

redemption of man its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and

guide the feet. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, a river of

pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be quoted at the judgment and remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the

obedient, and condemn all who trifle with its precepts.
