God calls His people to stand firm in the faith. But what are we to do when we recognize that we are unable to stand on our own? We must learn how to trust and praise God for preserving us by His grace. In this lesson, Dr. Charles draws our attention to Jude’s closing doxology, explaining what it means that God is able to preserve us on earth and to present us to Himself in glory.
