Our Keeper

Jude 24" Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding  joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen".
Jesus is the keeper and savior of our soul. He is the word of God made flesh and the truth of God's revelation to mankind. In Him and Him alone lies all the blessing God has promised us and he is our salvation. We must look to this truth and trust that He is able to do just what He said. He and He alone can keep us from falling while presenting us faultless before God.


We must beware of wolves in sheep clothing. Jude wrote a short but powerful letter about the problem of false teachers, swaying Christians from the Gospel. He told believers to remember the words of Jesus concerning the last days. See the ungodly teachers of the false faith promote a make believe religion, full of immoral living standards which defile and deny the things of God. They practice feeding off the flock instead of feeding stumble and straggle behind. Be patient with those who are hesitant about the faith. We who have been born again of  Christ must be kind hearted and tender, not prideful, pushy, or harsh. Our faith should result in us having a desire to live a holy life. We  should be repulsed by sin, even while trying to rescue those that have fallen into it. We must hate the sin but love and show mercy to those that have been trapped by it.

We all have opportunities to respond to people with encouragement. When they come let us leave them with hope, and confidence by sharing with them the good news of salvation. Jude's final word was, don't worry about falling, for God is more than capable of keeping you standing blameless and tall in His presence. Able to keep you joyfully shouting, singing, and praising Him for sending His son, Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith. It is Jesus who deserves all glory, power, majesty, and authority now and forever. Let us look to Jesus and be saved........
