The Book of Jude
Sunday, 26 July, 2026
What does it mean to truly be kept by God, and what role do we play in that process? The book of Jude brings us face to face with one of the most profound tensions in the Christian life: God is our keeper, and yet we are called to keep ourselves in the love of God. This is not a contradiction but an invitation. Drawing from Jude 20 through 24, we are reminded that genuine faith is not passive. God keeps us through means, through the Word, through the Spirit, through community, and through prayer. The doxology in verse 24, which describes God as the one able to keep us from stumbling and present us blameless before his glory with great joy, serves as both a promise and a motivation. We are not white-knuckling our way to heaven alone. We are held. And because we are held, we run. The call to persevere is not a burden placed on the uncertain, but a gift given to the assured.
