Jude 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." (Jude 1: 24)
 
There are three wonderful doxologies in three New Testament epistles extolling the transcendent ability of God to accomplish and perfect our eternal salvation. One  can be found in  the book of Jude, assuring us that are  "looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life" that He is fully able to bring us joyfully into the presence of God in glory.
 
 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Furthermore, His power is able to keep us forever. "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began".
 
Little wonder that the apostles exhort us to praise our Heavenly Father  for He is worthy of the praise! But in addition to the three doxologies, the Word of God contains many other testimonies to the omnipotent ability of the Lord on behalf of His people. "He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day". "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto  Him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for us". Knowing that our Father loves us so much that he sacrificed His only begotten son for us, he was forced to turn his back on His son so that he would never have to be separated from us. This the Father that is worthy of our praise this is the Father that we deserve one who loves us more than we can even image.
