perfect revelation of God, in Christ.
therefore it is a complete and final revelation, needing no addition or revision.
Holy in its Nature: in v. 20 Jude speaks of 'your most holy faith'.
v. 1: God is the Father of all who believe, v. 4: The glorious lesson of our Lord Jesus Christ, v. 4: The doctrine of the grace of God. v. 7: The total depravity of man. v. 9: The existence of a personal Devil, v. 19: The personality of the Holy Spirit, vv. 6, 7, 13: The fact of judgement and hell, v. 11: The justification of the sinner by faith alone. v. 14: The personal return of Christ, v. 24: The eternal security of believers. v. 25: The sovereignty and keeping power of God.
vv. 5-19: The historical accuracy and the prophetic value of the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures.
Although containing many warnings from the past the epistle encourages believers to build on this most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit, v. 20; as well as keep ourselves in God's love and look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life, v. 21.
It might be that Jude uses non-canonical literature in his epistle. The Book of Enoch is referred to in vv. 6-14 and the Assumption of Moses in vv. 8-9. The Holy Spirit saw fit to use these extracts from non-canonical books and to include them in the accepted scriptures to illustrate spiritual truth. It could be that certain genuine oral traditions became incorporated in the Book of Enoch and the Assumption of Moses and so it may be that Jude is not quoting the earlier works but we could have an example of the two writers drawing on the same oral material. We are quite sure God inspired Jude in the writing of his epistle but we must keep an open mind on the method He used in inspiring His servant. The Holy Spirit could lead a man to use existing material and yet ensure that only true facts and ideas are actually written down as scripture.
