God Is Able To Keep Us From Falling
The Scriptures below indicate six simple "to-dos" as a disciple:

  • Build each other up;
  • Pray in the Spirit (Greek version);
  • Expect the Lord's return;
  • Keep yourself safe in the love of God;
  • Show mercy; and
  • Rescue others.

20) But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21) and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
22) And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23) Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

A Prayer of Praise (Doxology)
24) Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. 25) All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen. Jude 1:20-25 (NLT)
