Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called.
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ.
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.
The sins
1)They have taken the way of Cain;2) they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; 3)they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
4)These people are blemishes at your love feasts.They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.
5)These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
The apostles said,"In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.
A call to reverence".
Dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh
Why?
Jude reminded all of being called Christians, don't pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality. The judgement will come on the great day. They will die on their desire.

What we have to careful as a Christian and check to others in Church, 1)Cain: worship without reverence,2)Balaam's error: For his profits 3) Korah’s rebellion: Do not respect the leader or servants in Church. 4)Dead life, without fruits 5)Grumbler and faultfinder 6)Boast themselves.
In the last time there are those scoffers people among us. They are not real follower of Christ, they do for their own advantages. It is very easy to identify, and we have to reminder us, pray in holy spirit, let us don't like them.
Save others with mercy mixed with fear- for if we careless may do the same evil thing as they do.
How?

Fear is do with aware of the Holy Spirit, I can do nothing, all I am doing is the Lord gave me strength and gifts let me to do it.
