24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-
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,
24 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,
24 And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating -
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you
24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jude 1:24
Commentary on Jude 1:24-25
(Read Jude 1:24-25)
God is able, and as willing as able, to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of his glory. Not as those who never have been faulty, but as those who, but for God's mercy, and a Saviour's sufferings and merits, might most justly have been condemned long ago. All sincere believers were given him of the Father; and of all so given him he has lost none, nor will lose any one. Now, our faults fill us with fears, doubts, and sorrows; but the Redeemer has undertaken for his people, that they shall be presented faultless. Where there is no sin, there will be no sorrow; where there is the perfection of holiness, there will be the perfection of joy. Let us more often look up to Him who is able to keep us from falling, to improve as well as maintain the work he has wrought in us, till we shall be presented blameless before the presence of his glory. Then shall our hearts know a joy beyond what earth can afford; then shall God also rejoice over us, and the joy of our compassionate Saviour be completed. To Him who has so wisely formed the scheme, and will faithfully and perfectly accomplish it, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.
