The writer mentions four reasons for writing the epistles. To add to their joy; to guard them against sin; to warn them against false teachers; and to strengthen their faith in Christ and to ensure them of eternal life.

The role of a father can take on many responsibilities, but none like educating one’s children in the ways of the Lord and setting a good example for them to emulate. With a continual decline of fatherhood in the world, and in some cases in the church, Christian fathers must become knowledgeable of their role according to God’s word and act upon it.

One of the essential things that we must learn how to do once we are born-again, is how to walk. The word “walk” is often used in the scriptures to denote a way of life or conduct. And since life is represented as a journey, and man as a traveler, and there are many pitfalls, then he must learn how to walk

Some religions teach that to be saved all a person must do is just believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, while others teach that you must be born again of the water and the Spirit as Jesus taught. Jude admonishes, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”(Jude 1:3) Is there a contradiction? What will happen if ones’ belief only, in Christ, causes them to fall short of their eternal salvation?

People have desired to know many things over the span of time. Many have found the knowledge they were looking for only to feel no fulfillment in the having of that knowledge and wisdom. Men like Solomon and Paul sought for and desired to know things beyond their natural wisdom and understanding. They sought it with a pure heart from the source of all knowledge and wisdom and were granted it, only to be asked to take no credit for it and to give it away. OH, that men would desire to know of the things of God.

Under the Law, there were three times each year that all Jewish men twenty years old and older were required to go up to Jerusalem to worship. They were: Passover, to commemorate the deliverance from Egyptian bondage; Pentecost, to commemorate the giving of the Law; and Tabernacle, to commemorate the Lord’s provision in the wilderness. It would be Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, that would change the world and usher in the New Testament Church.
