GODcha’s #19 LEARN Question.
19. How does Jude close his letter of warning against the false? (v25)
Sum It Up!
Jude opened his letter wanting to remind his readers of the common salvation they shared because of their faith in Jesus Christ. And now he closes with God our Savior, who saves us through Jesus our Lord.
To the One and Only God,
Who is our Savior,
Through Jesus our Lord, our Master.
And because of Who God is and what He has done for us then of course –
To Him belongs Glory – For it is God the Father who is worthy to receive glory, honor and praise for He created all things, and because of His will they exist and were created! We ascribe the glory due His name. Worshiping Him in the splendor of His holiness. And Jesus, the Lamb, who was slain, is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!
Majesty – He alone is exalted, for Only God is great! He is the most magnificent Person in the universe! He is Lord of every lord and King of every king!
Dominion – He has established His throne in the heavens and His sovereignty rules over ALL. By His power and strength He rules and does according to His will over the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth and no one can thwart His purpose or plan. He does whatever He pleases.
Authority – All power belongs to Him, and He has the right to use His power however He chooses. Giving all authority to Jesus!

We Talk – He LISTENS!

GRACIOUS FATHER IN HEAVEN, YOU ARE THE ONLY GOD OUR SAVIOR WHO SENT JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR to save us from all sin and death! We come to You through our Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you for Who You are and what You have done for us! Oh what a wonderful God You are, for loving us, such wretched, sinners – loving us so much that You sent Your one and only Son, that whoever would believe in Him, would not perish, but would have life eternal! Oh what a glorious, magnificent God You are! The King of every king, and Lord of every lord! You have established Your throne in the heavens and rule over all. We surrender ourselves to You, knowing You do according to Your will over the host of heaven and the inhabitants of this earth and no one can thwart Your purpose or plan! Your plan of salvation to all mankind. Your plan that all authority be given to Jesus! Oh, to whom else would we dare bow to? To You Almighty God, we humbly bow down before You, for You alone are worthy to receive glory, honor and praise! And to You Lord Jesus, the Lamb that was slain for us, You are more than worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise! To You oh God, belong glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time, now and forever! Amen! And Amen!
