Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
You don't have to fall.
You don't have to:
Fall short Fall behind
Fall apart Fall into temptation
Fall below Fall over
Fall down Fall for anything
Fall out Fall from grace
Fall prey to Fall on hard times
Fall under Fall on stony ground
He is able to keep us from falling.
He has the ability to see the fall long before it happens. He is able to prepare a safer way for us to travel, walk or reside. He is able!
When speaking about American comic superheros, what makes them special is their superhuman abilities. They are able to do feats of physical and mental strength that regular humans cannot do. Their abilities can't hold a candle to who God is to us. In a related scripture, it says, He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. He abilities can not be measured, for there is no instrument vast enough to measure God's ability. The ability spoken in this verse is that he is able to keep us from falling. A God who is concern about our lives will protect us from any and all falls, great and small. He will keep us from hurt and harm.
This scripture says that he is able to present us faultless. This in and of itself is not possible to the theology of some. Some people would rather have this scripture say it a little different. Without fault is without fault. They quickly point out that it does not say without sin. I would to God that they would stop trying to make the word say what they want it to say. God has the strength and the might to keep us from falling and present us faultless. We serve a mighty God, to whom nothing is impossible.
