1. Jude 1:25 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What does Jude affirm about God in the last verses of Jude?

Jude 1:25 (ESV)

25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

The attributes that Jude has listed (majesty, glory, power, and authority) are not changeable but belong to God throughout all time. God did not acquire these attributes—they already belonged to him before the ages came into being, before creation. In the past, present, and future, God’s character endures and remains the same.1
