Conclusion (1:24-25)
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
1.????Jude concludes by reminding Christians that God is all powerful and so is able to do everything we need. He saves us, makes us holy, gives us joy and love. (Isa 26:3; 2 Tim 1:12-13; Phil 3:20-21; Heb 7:25)
2.????The word “worship” is derived from Old English “worth-ship” (meaning the condition of being worthy or deserving; worthiness). God is worshipped because of his superior nature, power, authority and wisdom, (and is worthy of our worship). Those who are false teachers and unbelievers try to diminish or reject these attributes of God. Christians wholly embrace them and are content to praise and adore him; marveling at such a glorious and loving God.?
