Christians: What are your thoughts on Jude 24?

Answer 1

Jude’s message of warning and doom might havediscouraged his readers. Perhaps they thought that with so much false teaching and immorality around, very few Christians would ever reach heaven. For example in mountain climbing, the beginning hiker attaches himself to the expert so that if he loses his footing he won’t stumble and fall to his death. In the same manner, if we keep connected with God, we cannot fall. Keeping us spiritually safe is God’s work. God doesn’t call us to simply let the Christian life happen to us and He doesn’t command us to save ourselves. He calls us to a partnership with Him.

Answer 2

There isn't a Jude 24. Jude 1:24-25 is...
"24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Answer 3

If you meant that as a joke or something to trick us with: Lol!

If you want my opinion on verse 24:

"To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-"
- Jude 1:24 (NIV)

Just think! He who saved us does not simply leave us alone afterward - we'd just stumble, stumble, and stumble! We wouldn't walk in the power and love of the Lord if He didn't help us out, teaching us how to walk, and catching us when we're falling.

I actually feel rather joyful, knowing that God won't just leave me here, stranded. I sin a LOT, but He helps me to get back up and repent so I can walk with Him, in righteousness and holiness. Because of His great love, grace, and mercy...I can stand in His wonderful, satisfying (well, to put it lightly) Presence.

I can stand in His presence without fault and with great joy - all through His grace, love, and mercy. Isn't that wonderful?

In the words of Jude,

"to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen."
- Jude 1: 25

Answer 4

In order to understand the scripture one must not take it out of context. Read Jude 1:17-24, "17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
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,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

In these scriptures we read the words of Jude, disciple of our Lord, in which he describes that the only way to keep from "falling" is to rely on Jesus the only One who is able to keep you from sin if we are obedient to Him. Then He will present you to God to receive your heavenly reward.

Answer 5

Jude 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1Cor 10:13

There's cooperation involved in achieving these ends of being kept from stumbling and being blameless in his sight. For example Paul says, "this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ" Php 1:9,10, thus making blamelessness a function of discernment and obedience.

But for those cooperating he says confidenctly, "He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1Cor 1:8

So "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Php 2:12,13

And now "May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones." 1Th 3:13

Answer 6

I know you mean verse 24.

My thoughts are the same as verse 25 and I know that I am not worthy on my own to stand before the Throne of God.

Thank you Jesus.


25to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Answer 7

I love this verse.


Now let us turn our thoughts to Him, i.e. God; The only one able to keep you from falling. There is no other.
Where nothing can stand that does not resemble himself, with exceeding great joy, in finding yourselves eternally out of the reach of the possibility of falling, (a wonderful place) and for having now arrived at an eternity of happiness.

Answer 8

It harmonizes perfectly with what we read in Romans:

"Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past," - Romans 16:25.

In short, in means the same thing the exhalted Hannah declared, many years ago:

" "He keeps the feet of His saints," - 1 Samuel 2:9.

sweet preserverance!

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell." - Psalm 27:1,2.

Answer 9

Jude 24
" But to Him who is able to guard you from stumbling and to set you before His glory without blemish in exultation"

This is a concluding word by our brother Jude. In this concluding praise the brother indicated clearly that although he has charged the believers to endeavor in the things mentioned in vs 20-23..

( " 20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves upon the most holy faith,praying in the Holy Spirit..
21 Keep yourselves in the Love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal Life..22 And on some have mercy on those who are wavering ...23 Save them by snatching them out of the fire. On others have mercy in fear hating even the inner garment spotted from the flesh")

...that Only God was able to guard them from stumbling and set them before His Glory without blemish in exultation.. To HIM be the Glory!!!

May the Lord strengthen us inwardly as we pray in the Holy Spirit.. as we build up ourselves in the most holy faith... Keeping ourselves in the Love of God and taking care of one another with and by God's unfailing love shed abroad in our hearts. May we not just look out for ourselves and how we are getting along in the christian life.. but to seek out after our brothers and sisters that God has put in our path... to nourish and cherish them in the Love of God.

This gives God such a way to keep us from stumbling...In His power He is able to keep us day by day. May He be Glorified and may satan be put to shame.. May all satan's works be utterly destroyed in Jesus's name amen!

It's nonexistent. There is only one chapter in Jude.
