God Is Able to Keep Christian Musicians


God Is Able to Keep Christian Musicians

Jude 1:24-25, “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, To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
            Did you ever wonder why the apostle Jude said that God is “able to keep you from falling”, and furthermore that God is able “to present you faultless before the presence of his glory”?  I got curious the other day so I looked up the word keep (phulasso 5442), from falling (aptaistos 679), and faultless (amomos) 299 in the AV.  The word translated keep means that God is able to preserve or keep the Christian from stumbling spiritually.  He went on to explain that God would present the Christian without blame when we stand before Him. 
            Under the inspiration of the bless Holy Spirit the apostle Jude declared that God has the power to keep the Christian from falling spiritually and therefore this faithful Christian could come into God’s presence and be without moral blame in the sight of almighty God.  This may go against some people’s theological beliefs, but I believe what is written in these two verses in Jude is a wonderful uplifting promise to Christian musicians who are now living in this sin cursed world.
Thought for the Day
It isn’t a perfect Christian who is able to preserve himself blameless before God, but   rather a perfect and all-powerful God who “is able to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.”
