December 25th

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. Jude 24-25

This is a glorious double-barreled weapon against the torrent of lies that come from our enemy Satan. He accuses us constantly of our failures, fears and weakness in our daily life. These lies assault our conscience and attack our faith. We are created in the image of God to be an everlasting success, not a miserable failure.

Yes, God is able to keep us from falling away from Him. Yes, I will be in God’s glorious presence without fault because of Jesus Christ paying my penalty on the cross for my sins. Yes, I will be in God’s presence forever because of the unfailing faithfulness of Jesus Christ our Savior. We can declare God’s glorious and majestic promises to confront our enemy’s puny lies. We are overcomers of sin, sorrow and pain all because of Jesus magnificent and generous sacrifice.
