What did Jude say false teachers would do? (create divisions, Jude 19)
What did Jude tell believers to do? (build themselves up in faith, pray in the Holy Spirit, keep themselves in God’s love; Jude 20-21)
Who is able to keep us from sin? (Jesus, Jude 24-25)
How can we recognize false teaching?
Remind the kids that we must know the truth so we can compare it to the teachings of people. We learn the truth by reading our Bible daily and hiding God’s Word in our hearts. We can ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment, trusting that He will help us understand the Bible.How can we defend the faith when we hear false teaching?
Guide the kids to think through appropriate ways to react to false teachings. Point them to Jude 22-23. Explain that we are not called to be arrogant or cruel when we encounter false teaching, but we should seek to correct those who are wrong in a loving way. Those who refuse to be corrected, we should pray for and choose not to listen to them any more.Why does God want us to defend the faith?
Guide kids to understand that God loves every person. The Bible teaches that no one can be saved apart from Jesus. God wants everyone to have a relationship with Him. If we ignore false teachings, we are choosing to allow some people to walk further and further from God, many times leading others to do the same thing. We can show love by standing up for the truth.
