A Call to Persevere
(Hebrews 10:19-39)
17But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ 18when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.” 19These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
In context Jude is referring to ones that are in the church.
From Enduring Word
These certain men had an instinct to separate themselves and make divisions. “The word, found only once in the Bible, denotes those superior people who keep themselves to themselves – Christian Pharisees.” (Green)
Significantly, Jude does not tell us to attack the certain men who are a danger to the church. Instead, he tells us to focus on our walk with the Lord, help others affected by the certain men, and to focus on God. We simply are to pay the certain men no attention, except for what is necessary for our warning. God will take care of them. (Guzik)
What do you do? You pray for “the ones” “certain men” because Jesus loves them too.
Focus your attention on God, help others and God will take care of them.
Blessings, David
