Jude 1:1-2

Jude’s prayer for the recipients of his message is peculiarly suited to those who were facing persecution and pressures from outside the church and enemies to the faith within the church whose aim was to misrepresent God’s grace and mercy as license to continue in sin.

The church today faces the same pressures from without and within as did Jude’s first readers, so his message can help us today, just as it was a help to his first recipients. Also, our need for mercy, peace and love to be multiplied among us is just as needed in our age as it was in his.

In this message we will first of all look at the meaning of mercy, peace and love and then the strong relationship between them.
