According to verse 3, Jude’s purpose for writing this letter was to encourage these Christians to contend for the faith. But what does that mean? Why should we contend, is it really necessary? And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more
