A Perfect Prevention and Presentation — Jude 1:24-25
The Word: “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.”
The Breakdown: At the close of his epistle, Jude includes some incredible spiritual truths and promises in his doxology, which is an ascription of praise to God (literally, “the glory of God”). Jude writes that God is able to keep you from stumbling, meaning that He is able keep you from destructive false teachings and keep you in the truth, which is the theme of Jude’s epistle. Also, he writes that God will present you faultless before the presence of His glory, which refers to the imputed righteousness that you receive through faith in Christ, making you sinless. God does this with “exceeding joy,” which shows how joyous He is to love you and forgive your sins!
Activate: Since God will present you before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, you should receive this incredible blessing with exceeding joy—you should be excited and joyous about the fact that your sins are forgiven and that you will be blameless before Him!
A Thought: Because God will keep you in the truth and present you without fault, respond to God like Jude does, and ascribe glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever!
