How Can We Avoid Apostasy?

  1. Remember

Jude 17-18
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

18 how they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.  

  1. Remain Faithful 

Jude 20a
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith…

Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, 

which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Jude 20b
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.

Jude 21
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

  1. Responsibility 

Jude 22
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

Jude 23a
23 and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; 

Jude 23b
…hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Revelation 3:4
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Jude 24
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
