The Smell of Smoke
Smoke Detector

Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. Jude 1:23

Code Red:

I.

.
1 I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father, who
loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ. 3 Dear
friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the
salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about
something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has
entrusted once for all time to his holy people. Jude 1:1, 3

II.

.
I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way
into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to
live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded
long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus
Christ. Jude 1:4

III.

.
5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things,
that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he
destroyed those who did not remain faithful. 6 And I remind you of
the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave
them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them
securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day
of judgment. 7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their
neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind
of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve
as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment. Jude 1:5-7
