Jude, the Servant!

The Epistle of Jude has only one chapter, containing 25 verses.  In the first verse, Jude introduces himself as the servant of Jesus Christ.  In the third verse, he tells why he wrote the epistle.
     "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
In this brief letter, he predicts the apostasy of the professing church and describes the apostate teachers.  But in the last six verses. he assures and comforts the saints!  He also gives them their seven-fold duty:

     "But ye, beloved  --  (1) building up yourselves on your most holy faith, --  (2) praying in the Holy Ghost, -- (3) keep yourselves in the love of God, -- (4) looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.  --  (5) And of some have compassion, making a difference:  --  (6) And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;  --  (7) hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

 (Then, after these duties, he gives this beautiful benediction in the remaining two verses!)
      "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,
      To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.  Amen"!
