What does it mean to 'guard' God's word in faith?

Answered in 1 source

To guard God's word means to keep, protect, and adhere strictly to the teachings and promises found in Scripture.

Guarding God's word involves a commitment to uphold and preserve the truth as revealed in Scripture. This means that believers actively protect against any distortion or alteration of His word, ensuring that it remains pure and authoritative. John 17:6 illustrates that true faith is shown by how we keep God's commandments and believe in His truths. Just as a prison keeper protects what has been entrusted to them, believers are called to safeguard their understanding of God's promises, trusting in His grace and resisting any ideologies that would compromise the gospel. This guarding showcases the believer's reliance on God's word as their ultimate authority for life and faith.
