Jude ends with praise to God because, after all the letter’s warnings, God is the one who is able to keep believers from the ruin of apostasy and bring them safely and joyfully into His glorious presence. This saving work belongs to the only God, and He does it through Jesus Christ our Lord, so He deserves praise forever.

These verses are Jude’s closing doxology, a final expression of praise to God. That matters because Jude does not end the letter with fear alone. He has given serious warnings and strong commands, yet he finishes by directing the church’s eyes to God’s power and giving Him worship. Believers must keep themselves in God’s love, as Jude has just said, but their final safety does not rest on human effort by itself. God is able to keep them.

When Jude says God is able to keep them from falling, he is speaking of more than help with ordinary daily stumbles. In the context of this letter, the greater danger is the kind of downfall seen in the rebels Jude has already described and in the false teachers troubling the church. The point, then, is chiefly that God is able to preserve His people from moral and spiritual ruin, from apostasy, and from the judgment that follows it.

Jude then adds that God is able to present them before His glorious presence. The thought moves from present preservation to future completion. God not only keeps His people from destruction now; He also brings them safely to the final day and causes them to stand before His glory.

Jude says believers will stand there without blemish. In this letter, that matters because he has been dealing with corruption, defilement, and moral stain. So this is more than simply escaping punishment. It means being presented as acceptable before the holy God, fit to stand in His presence—the very opposite of the defilement associated with the intruders.

He also says this presentation will be with rejoicing. The most natural sense is that believers themselves will stand there with joy. Their final salvation is not pictured as barely getting through in fear, but as joyful acceptance in God’s presence.

Verse 25 identifies the One being praised as the only God our Savior. That fits Jude’s whole message. There is no rival savior, no other true authority, and no other source of rescue. Yet Jude immediately adds that this saving work is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So Jude holds together two truths: there is one God alone, and God’s saving work comes to us through Jesus Christ. This does not weaken God’s uniqueness; it shows the God-appointed way His salvation is accomplished and made known.

Jude then ascribes glory, majesty, power, and authority to God. All honor belongs to Him because His rule is supreme and His saving power is unmatched. And Jude stretches this praise across all time—before all time, now, and forever. That means the church’s present crisis must be understood in light of God’s eternal reign. The false teachers are dangerous, and the warnings are real, but God’s rule is greater than the church’s immediate danger.

So this closing praise gathers up the message of the letter. Jude has called believers to vigilance, endurance, prayer, and mercy toward those in danger. This doxology does not cancel those responsibilities. It supports them by showing that perseverance takes place under God’s preserving power. The church must take the warnings seriously, but it must do so with confidence in the God who is able both to keep His people from ruin and to present them blameless and rejoicing before His glory.
