To him
who is able
to keep you from stumbling and
to present you
before his glorious presence
without fault...
Jude 1:24 NIV
Without fault.
I know that's not true, because I have them.
Plenty of them
So either this is all about some time in the future when I will be without fault.
Or
Jesus has absorbed all my faults and I am introduced as if they never existed...
Maybe it's both.
But either way it's what Jesus did that allows me to stand "without fault".
It's only when he presents me that it's OK.
Nothing else, no one else, can make me fault less.
Nothing else, not my performance, my "goodness", or anything I can do is enough
No one else can take my stuff on themselves and make me fault less
The only place that happens is at the cross.
And the only one who can hold us from falling, and stand with us, present us as faultless, is the only faultless one, who made himself "fault" for us.
