Bible Note: Thread of grace. ..Thanks, Ray. You have elaborated on the "thread of grace" that surrounds the critique of false of teaching. I, too, love verse 24. "To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy ...." So the whole book is a critique of those who have tasted God's grace and yet fall away. It is not condemning those who don't believe, but those who have believed and then corrupt their faith. But here is the assurance, that Christ will keep us and hold us safely. We need not despair and say, "Who then can be saved." |
