God and the Good News of Jesus is straightforward. God sent His son to die for us, we accept the free gift, and God becomes our Dad. But who is "Dad?" This is where the danger lies. If "Dad" made the world, and the world is broken, isn't it inevitably His fault? If it is, then how do I see Him? And how do I trust Him? This is the tricky lie that can seep into our thoughts and discussions with other people. It is a distraction that takes us away from thinking about what He has done that proves His character. Looking into other ideas that may consider God as part of the problem rather than the solution is a slippery slope. Jude reminds us that we should be alert to ideas that sound really good, but are just sensations that will take us away from a simple faith in God and His love for us.
Jude 3-4
