Context — A Greeting from Jude
2Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints. 4For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.Cross References

By trusting in His goodness and faithfulness, we can live with confidence and hope, knowing that His love is always with us, as stated in Hebrews 13:5.]
