Understanding that God keeps us ensures believers' confidence in their salvation and security in Christ.
Jude 1:24 assures us, '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.' This is vital because it emphasizes that our salvation is not contingent on our ability to maintain it but is fully secured by God Himself. Throughout Scripture, including stories like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, we see God’s protective hand in delivering and sustaining His people. This gives believers a profound sense of peace and assurance, knowing that their standing in Christ is not at risk of collapsing due to their failures.
