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.

Jude 1:24

We are being kept by the Lord from falling, but from what?

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away… 

He keeps us from falling (we need only to look back at the previous verses)

• For false teachers, doctrines, and spirits.
• From a committed intimate relationship with Christ.
• Forward into continual and habitual sin.

“Sometimes, He keeps temptation from us; at other times, He allows a temptation to come to us that, by overcoming it, we may be the stronger to meet another one. Oftentimes, He delivers us from temptation by letting affliction come upon us. Many a man has been kept from falling into sin by being stretched upon a head of sickness. Had it not been for the loss of the eye, He would have looked upon vanity. Had it not been for that broken bone, He would have run in the ways of ungodliness. We little know how much preservation from falling we owe to our loss and crosses.” - Charles H Spurgeon Jude’s Doxology June 28, 1906, From Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 52

John repeats the phrase, or a variation of the phrase “to everyone who is victorious” to every church.

Let the Lord keep me from falling.
