We left off in Jude with the question of what is the faith once delivered to the saints. Paul tells us in I Corinthians 15:3-4 that the faith is "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
The phrase according to the scriptures is of vital importance. It is by the scripture that we differentiate truth from error. We must become thoroughly well versed in the scriptures so that we know the truth God has revealed to us.
We must test every teaching in light of God's Word. Paul commended the Bereans because they tested what he said by the Word. We must be people of the book.
