"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." (Jude 24,25)
This verse tells me that to those called according to His purpose, we are saved! It is even better than that, we are saved and we can know it. But it is even three times better than that, we are saved, we know that we're saved, and we know that we can never ever lose our salvation. God is able to keep us from falling away. We can confidently say, "For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day" (2 Timothy 1:12) We are safe and secure, no second guessing!!
I believe I was given this verse in the little book of JUDE because there is some considerable "second guessing" going on in the lives of those around us at this time. God has let us KNOW He has saved our loved one for His purpose and we should be looking for that purpose instead of looking for reasons to second guess Him. We need to simply trust Him and not continue to think our loved one is no longer under His protection or He has taken His hands off of him. God is faithful and He will honor His commitment. Our loved one is safe and secure and God will never ever loose him.

Very true and so good to see in print, even though we know it already.
