How it happens…
Jude refreshes the brethren…
The Occasion for the letter: (Certain Men have crept in.. what made him write)

Ungodliness, no matter if it's done innocently or intentionally, will manifest itself in a variety of shapes and forms — but the foundation of every ungodly person and each act of ungodliness is all rooted in this:
(1) Not believing that God is who He says He is...
(2) Not believing God will do what He says He'll do...

Jude 5-10 Examples of Wickedness (3 examples)
Jude 11 Expressions of Warnings (3 names that speak of warnings)
Jude 12 Experiences of Worthlessness (4 fold description things in nature that are promising but do not produce)
Who they are What they do What they act like What we must do (keep ourselves in the unhindered flow of God's love)
