Jude 1:24-25·~1 min
Doxology
Jude ends by ascribing praise to the God who is able to keep believers from stumbling and to present them unblemished in His glorious presence with great joy. He then attributes to the only God our Savior glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, now, and forever. The paragraph gives the church its final ground of confidence: God Himself will preserve what He has called.
