Unto HIM that is able to KEEP you from falling

Jud 1:24  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,
Jud 1:25  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

To HIM that is able to keep you from falling.

There is only ONE who is able to keep us from falling.
There is only ONE who can present us faultless.

The thing is we WILL fall if He doesn't KEEP us from falling.

We will be taken over by sin if we don't cling to Him who can save us from sin. Without our Savior we have no hope. Too many believe that they can in fact save themselves. They believe if they do not act too badly that they deserve salvation. Satan has come up with this deceptive plot and has taken many captive with it, many.  Those who believe they can be good enough haven't comprehended the fact that they cannot ever be sinless in and of themselves. Any sin they've committed needs to be forgiven or the filth of that sin remains upon them, staining them. They could go and never commit a single other sin but the stain of that one would remain unless they go to the ONLY ONE who can present us faultless before the Presence of His Glory.

We MUST be kept from falling. We must be presented faultless before God. Our Savior is the ONLY One who can do this and NONE other.

We've studied the book of Jude and we've seen that God will PUNISH the sinners. It isn't a fake tale made up to scare people into behaving as best they can. This is so incredibly serious yet so few actually take it that way. It's much more easy for them to simply live their lives any ol' way and let come what may.

The belief that everyone will move on right after death, no matter what, pervades the entire world. They'll move on in some spirit form and maybe they'll suffer a little but in the end everything will be just fine. Some do believe they'll face a torturous hell environment with fire and brimstone, pain, agony unlike anything they've ever felt and they'll have to feel it forever, but it's not real to them, only here and now is real and therefore if they have to suffer something later well that's what will happen and they'll worry about it then.  Others who do their best to live sinless for fear of eternal everlasting pain and suffering, are missing the point of God's love. Is it fear God wants us to live in, or love?  Did Jesus come and expound on pain and suffering, or did He preach on love?  Some will say both and that's the truth- but his main message was of the LOVE of God and revealing the FATHER'S LOVE to us, not the FATHER'S hatred. His love, His longsuffering.

Sin will destroy us if we allow it to.  And we will allow it if we don't go to the ONLY ONE who is able to KEEP US from falling.

We are warned, we aren't left clueless, our God would NEVER leave us clueless. We will ALL have the chance to know the TRUTH, plainly.

We will ALL be able to be KEPT from FALLING by our SAVIOR but we have to ALLOW Him to KEEP us.

To HIM that is able to keep us from falling.

Please LORD keep us from falling! Without you we are HELPLESS!
