How do we hold fast to sound words?

Answered in 1 source

We hold fast to sound words by believing them, relying on God's truth, and applying them to our lives.

Holding fast to sound words requires a deep-seated belief in the totality of God's Word. As mentioned in the sermon, sound words encompass the authority of Scripture and the truth about God’s character, including His sovereignty, holiness, and mercy. To hold these words fast means to embrace them wholeheartedly, even in the face of doubt or contradiction from the world. We must rely on God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, recognizing our total depravity and need for Christ's righteousness. This includes believing the doctrine of election, the necessity of regeneration, and the completeness of salvation through Christ alone. Ultimately, we hold fast by not only believing these truths but also living them out in love and gratitude towards God.
