Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling…
Jude 24
Jude has been telling us that we need to watch ourselves, because we live this Christian life in the body, but we are also to find our rest in God.
Verses 24 and 25 are all about God. That's significant because the first six workouts have been all about you: “But you, beloved, [build] yourselves up in your most holy faith” (Jude 20).
Notice where the responsibility lies: Who is to do this? You are. Who is to pray in the Holy Spirit? You are. Who is to wait for Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life? You are. Who is to reach out in ministry that is merciful and snatch others from the ire? You are. Who is to hate even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh? You are.
It is a great mistake to say that the Christian life is all up to God. He calls you to do these workouts. And if you do them, you will grow. If you do not do them, you will be like a spiritual lazy person. God will not do these things for you. He has called you to do them.
A lot of Christians spend years waiting for God to do something to make them grow. That is a terrible mistake. Don’t expect God to do what He has told you to do. You do it.
Are you waiting for God to make you grow, or are you busy doing what He’s told you to do?
