is the meaning of Jude 23?...”
Tom/

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Jude
1:23 KJV
And
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the
garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude
1:23 NLT
Rescue
others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to
still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that
contaminate their lives.
Jude
1:23 CEV
Rescue
any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire.
Then with fear in your own hearts, have mercy on everyone who needs
it. But hate even the clothes of those who have been made dirty by
their filthy deeds.
Jude
1:23 ERV
Rescue
those who are living in danger of hell’s fire. There are others you
should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives
don’t rub off on you.
Evangelism, is for those who are prepared, both by study of The Word,
and by prayer.
We are literally are pulling people out of the fires of hell, when we
lead them to The Lord.
We must be spiritual over comers, living close to The Lord, or the
sins of the ones we are trying to help, may reach out to us.
Jude shows us that the ways of evangelism are various and many,
though the message, always the same and never changing.
Some, when extended the mercy of The Lord, gladly receive Him,
others, must through the vary fear of God's wrath, be snatched as it
were from the very gates of hell and judgment.
I
Corinthians 9:22 KJV
To
the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all
things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
Why
should we evangelize?
We should because our Savior called us to:
Matthew
28:18-20 NKJV
18
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit,
20
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
And we should, because man was created to bring glory to God:
Romans
15:9 KJV
And
that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written,
For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing
unto thy name.
Evangelism:
Isaiah
6:8 KJV
Also
I heard the voice of The Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who
will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Ezekiel
3:17-19 KJV
17
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear The Word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.
18
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest
him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way,
to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but
his blood will I require at thine hand.
19
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor
from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thy soul.
Malachi
1:11 KJV
For
from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My
name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense
shall be offered unto My name, and a pure offering: for My name shall
be great among the heathen, saith The Lord Of Hosts.

your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.

the laborers are few;
38
Pray ye therefore The Lord Of The Harvest, that He will send forth
laborers into His harvest.
Matthew
10:7-14 NLT
7 Go
and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out
demons. Give as freely as you have received!
9
“Don’t take any money in your money belts—no gold, silver, or
even copper coins.
10
Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals
or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality,
because those who work deserve to be fed.
11
“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person
and stay in his home until you leave town.
12
When you enter the home, give it your blessing.
13
If it turns out to be a worthy home, let your blessing stand; if it
is not, take back the blessing.
14
If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your
message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave.

things which ye do hear and see:

have The Gospel preached to them.

brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19
To preach the acceptable year of The Lord.

people brought to eternal Life. What joy awaits both the planter and
the harvester alike!

You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s
true.
38 I
sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done
the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.”
John

any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also

14 I
am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the
wise, and to the unwise.
15
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach The Gospel to you that
are at Rome also.
16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.
Romans
10:15 KJV

how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans
15:20 KJV
Yea,
so have I strived to preach The Gospel, not where Christ was named,
lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
I
Corinthians 1:17 NLT
For
Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach The Good News—and
not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose
its power.
I
Corinthians 2:1-5 KJV
1
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of
speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and Him crucified.
3
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's
wisdom, but in demonstration of The Spirit and of power:
5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
I
Corinthians 9:16 NLT
Yet
preaching The Good News is not something I can boast about. I am
compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach
The Good News!
II
Corinthians 5:20 NLT
So
we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us.
We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

4:11,12 KJV

evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12
For the perfecting of
the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
Colossians
1:27,28 KJV
27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory:
28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all
wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians
4:5,6 NLT
5
Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of
every opportunity.

Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will
have the right response for everyone.
II
Thessalonians 2:14,15 NLT
14
He called you to salvation when we told you The Good News; now you
can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15
With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm
and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in
person and by letter.
II
Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing The Word Of Truth.
II
Timothy 4:5 KJV
But
watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
I
Peter 3:15 KJV
But
sanctify The Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in
you with meekness and fear:
Bring
Them In
Hark! ’tis The Shepherd’s voice I hear,
Out in the desert dark and drear,
Calling the sheep who’ve gone astray,
Far from The Shepherd’s fold away.
Chorus:
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wand’ring ones to Jesus.
Who’ll go and help this Shepherd kind,
Help Him the wand’ring ones to find?
Who’ll bring the lost ones to the fold,
Where they’ll be sheltered from the cold?
Out in the desert hear their cry,
Out on the mountain, wild and high;
Hark! ’tis The Master, speaks to thee,
“Go, find My sheep where’er they be.”
