“To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy—” ~Jude 1:24~
What a wonderful bible verse this is. God’s love for us is unfathomable and undeserving but yet He loves us anyway and keeps us on the straight and narrow path. To keep us on the path that leads us to our ultimate goal (heaven).
Though we sin daily He sees us without fault and blameless as if that wasn’t enough He also sees His children with great joy. How many parents do you know are overjoyed when their children have disobeyed instructions or broken rules. I can’t think of one.
I once heard of a illustration that was told like this: a Father seen his Son disobey a rule. His Son knew his Father seen him and knew he was in deep trouble and a spanking was coming. So the Father took his Son to his room and the Father raised his hand and the child began to prepare for the inevitable. But the spanking never came instead the Father’s hand hit his own thigh. The child was dumbfounded. The Father explained to his Son see “Son just like Jesus took the punishment I know I deserved I took the punishment you knew you deserved”.
The Bible is chalk full of wonderful bible verses another favorite verse of mine that demonstrates His unfathomable love for His people is: Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrated His is love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Please allow me to follow this bible verse: Psalms 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Caution to you though! I must warn you with these verses from Romans: Romans 6: 1-2 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be!
The almighty and merciful God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, bless us and keep us.
