In this episode of the Old Paths Podcast, Cody and Michael delve into the Epistle of Jude, exploring themes of grace, judgment, and the concept of spiritual sodomy. They discuss the purpose of Jude's letter, the importance of contending for the faith, and the nature of grace as both unmerited favor and enabling power. The conversation highlights biblical examples of judgment, including the Israelites, fallen angels, and the infamous Sodom and Gomorrah, drawing parallels to contemporary Christian living. The hosts emphasize the dangers of idleness and the need for vigilance against sin, urging listeners to actively contend for their faith and flee from influences that undermine their spiritual integrity.

Highlights:

• The main purpose of Jude's letter is to contend for the faith.
• Turning grace into license to sin is a serious issue.
• Spiritual sodomy is akin to a fruitless Christian life.
• Grace is not just unmerited favor; it is enabling power.
• Biblical examples serve as warnings against ungodliness.
• Idleness and ease can lead to spiritual decay.
• Christians must actively fight against sin.
• Fellowship with those who make light of sin is dangerous.
• The consequences of sin can be severe and eternal.
• Contending for the faith requires effort and vigilance.
