Falling?

Jude 1:24a
KJV: “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling …”

Do you feel like you are falling slowly? Jude 1:24 NCV says, “God is strong and can help you not to fall.” Why? He loves you that much enough that “He can bring you before His glory without any wrong in you and give you great joy” (Jude 1:24b
NCV)

Who then can really do this? Jude 1:25 “He is the only God, the One who saves us. To Him be glory, greatness, power, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord for all time past, and forever, Amen” (NCV). There! Authority through Jesus Christ our Lord! So God is able to keep you from falling, falling, and falling. He will “present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1 24b). So God is exceeding joy which means He is more than just being joyful. He is very, very joyful to do this to you. He looks forward to the day to “present you faultless.”

Why is God looking forward to that? You remember that Satan stands before God day and night accusing us, telling God that we are not perfect and we will fall. In Revelation 12:9-11 tells about Satan, the great dragon, the deceiver will finally “shut up”and be thrown out of heaven and will no longer “accuse our faults before our God.” Scripture tells us that we overcame Satan through the blood of the Lamb and by the word of testimony, His Word.

NIRV: “Give praise to the One who is able to keep you from falling into sin. He will bring you into his heavenly glory without any fault. He will bring you there with great joy. Give praise to the only God. He is our Savior. Glory, majesty, power and authority belong to Him Give praise to Him through Jesus Christ our Lord. Give praise to the One who was before all time, who now is and who will be forever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25.

God is looking forward to present you faultless so trust Him to keep you from falling!
