START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Jude 1:4
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.
GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO A LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY / JUDE 1:4
Jude strongly denounces “godless men” who teach that spiritual salvation by grace (God’s undeserved favor and love) frees believers from any obligation to religious rules – including the moral standards of God’s law. This led to all kinds of immoral behaviors, which they claimed did not matter, as long as they “believed” the right things. These false teachers claimed the believers could indulge in serious sins without fear of being punished or condemned by God. This perverted teaching likely included the idea that God will freely forgive those who continually engage in sexual lust, or that those who live immorally are still secure in their salvation if they have trusted in Christ at some time in the past (Romans 5:20; 6:1-2). These false teachers preached forgiveness of sin but left out the necessary command of holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to God; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:16).
