What does the Bible say about holding to faithful words?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible encourages believers to hold fast to the faithful word as taught, allowing them to exhort and convince others.
In Titus 1:9, Paul instructs Titus to be a 'retainer of the faithful word' as he was taught, which emphasizes the importance of clinging to God's truth in a world filled with falsehood. This faithfulness is vital for elders and pastors, who must be examples of integrity and adherence to Scripture. The verse underlines the necessity for church leaders to possess deep knowledge of biblical truth to effectively teach and refute those who contradict it. Holding to the faithful word means more than just knowing it; it involves living it out and sharing it with integrity and conviction.
