The Secure believer Jude 1-2. How can we tell whether or not a person is a true minister of God? How can we tell whether or not a person is a true believer? This is the discussion of this passage. Remember: Jude was the brother of our Lord. At first, he did not believe in Jesus Christ. But some time after the resurrection of Christ, he gave his heart to the Lord and surrendered his life to preach the gospel. Here we see him sitting down and writing to the believers of the first century. And in writing, he wastes no time: right from the start he describes himself as a true minister of Jesus Christ and his readers as true believers of Christ. Consequently, in his opening remark we have a picture by which we can measure ourselves, the picture of a true minister and of a true believer.God’s desire is that mercy, peace and love be multiplied among believers who are faithful to God and His word. These three blessings are especially needful when Contending for the faith.
