What does it mean to keep God's word?

Answered in 2 sources

Keeping God's word means cherishing His commands and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us in living out our faith.

In the context of the sermon, keeping God's word involves more than merely adhering to rules; it reflects a heart that is transformed by the love of Christ. The preacher explicates that believers keep God's word because it is precious to them and they are enabled by the Holy Spirit to cherish and uphold it in their lives. Keeping His word signifies a commitment to live according to His principles, not out of mere obligation, but from a place of love and gratitude for what Christ has accomplished. This heart posture leads to a demonstration of faith through baptism and communion, as outward expressions of inward faith.
