He Is Able To Keep You

"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 24.  There is the danger that the Christian can fall from grace.  But, God helps us to serve Him.  God does not create a hedge about us that keeps the devil from tempting us nor does He prevent us from having to bear burdens.  The temptations of Satan and the burdens of life come to the child of God.  However, God does provide us with strength by His Spirit that enables us to know victory in those times when we are tempted to fall.  Also, there is always an escape route from temptation so that we might not sin.  But, God does nothing for man against the will of man.  Man is always in control of his destiny.  But, the child of God can always know that God helps us with the difficulties that we face.  With the help of God, we can live the Christian life faithfully and stedfastly.  We can have the sure confidence that God will present us faultless before His glory.  This is the reason why Jesus died and shed His blood for each of us.  Through the sacrifice which Jesus made on the cross, we can stand faultless before God.  This assurance brings joy to our hearts.  However, we must accept the help that God is willing to give unto His children so that God's everlasting glory can be achieved.  What a blessed thought to know that God is able to keep us.
