The Saving, Preserving and Judging Work of Jesus in Jude

A third title that Jude applies to Jesus is that of Savior (25).  Within the letter, two aspects of saving are described. There is a saving out of Egypt (5) which applied to the Old Testament covenant people composed of faithful and unfaithful and there is the ultimate eschatological salvation which is implied in verse 25.  The first type of salvation relates to the preservation of a worshipping community within the world.  The second type of salvation ensures that the people…

The deity of Jesus in Jude
