“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” – Jude 1:24-25 KJV

It appears that many have been conditioned to exercise greater belief in failing than faith in a God who knows no failure. And thus they fall into sin because they allow desire for the flesh to take precedence over their hunger and thirst for righteousness. Hence giving up the greater part of themselves to the world while giving God the leftovers, so to speak.

And to make matters worse, many even try to justify sinning by assuming that it isn’t possible to live in obedience to God’s commandments. In this way they inadvertently nullify God’s promise to keep them from falling, and thereby suggest that the flesh is stronger than the Spirit. Thus, they blaspheme God.

Listen, we need to stop downplaying the power and authority of God over our lives and start believing that He can actually deliver us from evil. In other words, we need to stop making excuses for sinning and start demonstrating what it really means to exercise faith in Almighty God.

So, the next time temptation comes knocking on your door, don’t answer it. Instead, fall to your knees in prayer, asking God to empower you with strength to overcome evil. You may be surprised to see just how powerful God really is! For where there’s a will, Jesus is The Way!
