“Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1-3).
“Our common salvation” identifies the unique ability of THE faith.
THE faith is about salvation for all, not social justice, global warming, overpopulation, or even positive thinking.
Therefore, it contains facts which must be known and accepted, promises which must be trusted, warnings which must be heeded, and commands which must be obeyed, if you are to enjoy the common salvation offered by Christ.
THE faith is the power of God to salvation for everyone.
