Jude 1:5-7

5 “Now I want to remind you, though you know everything once and for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”


Know everything: The believers knew the Gospel and knew God at the core of their beings. Jude is appealing to this reality as he reminds God’s children about the truth. The Gospel of grace is indeed free, according to James, but it will never lead to sinful behavior. God is not a fan of sin which is precisely why Jude recounts the Old Testament story of the Exodus. 

Sodom and Gomorrah: Sodom and Gomorrah have been personified as the epitome of sexual immorality. These two cities are an example of what happens to those who reject the Gospel in general, and the false teachers encouraging sin in particular. There is an eternal punishment which awaits all who are not in Christ through faith.
