Overview & Insights

"Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy." (Jude 24)

Jude urges believers to build themselves up in the faith, pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep themselves in the love of God while showing mercy to those who doubt and snatching others from the fire. The letter closes with a doxology to the God who is able to keep them from stumbling and present them blameless with great joy.
