Jude: How to Contend for the Faith Without Losing Your Faith
Jude 24-25
Dr. Chris Montgomery · Nov. 19, 2025
The word doxology comes from the Greek doxa, (“glory, splendor, grandeur”) and logos, (“word” or “speaking”).
Doxologies in the Old Testament:
Doxologies are at the end of each of the five books or divisions in the Psalms: Psalm 41:13; Psalm 72:19; Psalm 89:52; Psalm 106:48; Psalm 150:1-6.
(1 Chronicles 29:10-13) Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: “Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13 And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
Doxologies in the New Testament:
- The angels sing a doxology at Christ’s birth in Luke 2:14
- The first Palm Sunday in Luke 19:38
- Romans 11:33; 16:27; Ephesians 3:21; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 5:13; 19:1
(Jude 24-25) Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 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.
