CHAPTER 1

IS THIS WHAT THEY DIED FOR?

We come across some life changing words in the third verse of the book of Jude.

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 (Jude 3).

This passage refers to the precious faith, which was once delivered to the saints of old. To understand the importance of the above passage you will have to read another passage of the Bible. This passage highlights a group of men whose lives have remained a challenge to generations.

Women receive their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mocking and scourging, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goat skins being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy): they wandered in deserts, and in mountains and in dens and caves of he earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect (Hebrews 11:35-40).

There are lots of challenges to draw concerning the life of the pioneers of our faith. They are worthy examples. Their lives stand out as monumental examples today.

To wrap these two passages. the Bible gives us another challenge in 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
