Doxologies of the New Testament (15)—Able to Keep Us
The main theme of the Epistle of Jude is the apostasy of the last days. Jude traces this apostasy from its very beginning when it crept in (v. 4) right up to its judgment at the coming of the Lord with all His saints (v. 14). Paul said the same thing when he wrote that the "mystery of lawlessness is already at work" in his day and would end in the manifestation of the "man of lawlessness," also referred to as the "man of sin" (kjv), who will be destroyed at the appearing of Christ ). He is able. We will stand in glory, in the presence of joy: our joy and His, in that day.

Indeed, it is our privilege to joy in our God now, in a public way, this Lord's Day. Let us give praise to Him: "to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."
