A Blessing from Jude

"To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen." Jude 1:24-25 (NIV)

A Blessing from Jude

Let me take just a minute to pronounce upon you a beautiful blessing, one that comes from the closing words of the book of Jude. It’s a short letter, but it contains a powerful reminder of God’s incredible grace and strength.

Now, receive this blessing:
"Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy."

What a promise! God Himself is able to keep you from stumbling, to protect and guide you as you walk through life’s challenges. Not only that, but He will present you faultless—without blemish—before His glorious presence. And He will do so with great joy! This is the joy of your Savior, who delights in you and has made a way for you to stand confidently in His grace.

To Him be all glory, majesty, dominion, and power, now and forevermore. May this truth settle in your heart today. You are kept, you are presented faultless, and you are loved deeply by the One who reigns forever.

In Jesus' name, Amen and Amen.
