Jude Chapter 1 Vs. 25

 

Doxology

Again, verses 24-25: Present you faultless before the presence of his glory”: This great doxology of verses looks forward to those heavenly scenes, when the raptured and resurrected saints are presented as a glorious Bride, holy and blameless before the true God.

Jude 1:25 “To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen”

God our Savior... God is by nature a saving God, unlike the reluctant and indifferent false deities of human and demon invention.

glory and majesty,... Both Jude on earth and the angels and saints in heaven (Rev. 4:10-11; 5:12-14), ascribed these kinds of qualities to our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

both now and... Both now, and throughout all the ages, God is to be praised.

The only One that can keep us from falling is Jesus. We must place our trust and faith in Him and He will do the rest. In fact, there is nothing more for Him to do. He did it all on the cross of Calvary. He defeated sin and Satan on the cross for all who would believe.

If you are a Christian, He has abolished your past sin. Jesus clothed us in His righteousness, the moment we accepted Him as our Savior. When God looks at a Christian, He sees the righteousness of Jesus we are covered with. Jesus actually is the One we stand before because He is the Judge of the world.

He defeated death when He rose from the grave. At the name of Jesus every knee will bow for He is the Eternal One. His power is not measurable for He is all Power.

Phil. 2:10-11 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; ” “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Here is the greatest theme of victory to be sounded, the highest note of praise and adoration possible, and the greatest assurance for the redeemed. Jude attributes to God — to the only God our Savior… glory, majesty, power, and authority, which are all available to believers through the Victor, Jesus Christ our Lord. And this exalted position is true of God in eternity past, in the present, and for all eternity in the future.

Thus Jude fulfills his heart’s desire of writing in the most joyful terms (Jude1:3), for in Christ there is hope in victory, which gives believers joy and confidence.
