Jude 14:24,25
"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen."
In our daily lives, we feel like we are going through so much - school, studying, homework, etc. - but when we look at these verses, we feel a sense of comfort. These verses tell us that Christ will keep us strong and will always be there for us in our trouble times. It also shows us the price that He paid on the cross - "And to present you faultless". Because Christ loved us so much, He died on the cross for our sins and resurrected on the third day, and if we believe in this message, God will not see the sins we committed and will see the blood of Christ - "faultless".
This should also bring out joy within us, joy that would motivate us to share this Gospel message with others. "Exceeding joy" - we obtain this joy because we realize that we passed from death over to life. The fact that God has all dominion and power shows us that we have nothing to worry about and it also shows us that Christ is in control. Therefore there is nothing to fear!
Stay strong brothers and sisters!

You are right, we went from "death to life."
I don't know if we really understand or even believe this.
Imagine if Christians believed this...how different would their lives be?
Keep praying for us, Justin.
I like that phrase
exceeding joy
