haqi, False teachers were a major problem in the early church, and many of the epistles deal with them. Jude offers scathing rebukes and warnings to false teachers, but in addition he offers insights on how we can protect ourselves from them.

In verses 20-21, Jude uses four phrases which are instructive:

"building ourselves up" (studying and doing things to encourage our spiritual growth);

"praying" (cultivating a healthy prayer life);

"keeping ourselves in the love of God"
(monitoring our lifestyle and guarding against sin);

and
"looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life" (cultivating an eternal perspective).
