"To execute judgment on all..."

Text: Jude 15

DIVINE JUDGMENT

Jude was very conscious of the deadly harm the false teachers could inflict on the Church community. Sadly, many believers were not wise or sharp enough to discern the dangers that lurked. In order to warn all effectively he wrote about divine judgment.

“To execute judgment on all, to convict all who are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
which they have committed in an ungodly way,
and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have
spoken against Him.”
