Why is keeping the faith essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping the faith is essential as it reflects reliance on Christ's finished work and secures our participation in eternal life.

The admonition to 'keep the faith' is pivotal for believers; it signifies continuing to trust in Christ's redemptive power rather than one’s own efforts. In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul demonstrates his faithfulness by stating he has kept the faith till the end. This 'keeping' is not merely an act of personal perseverance but a recognition of Christ as the author and finisher of faith. Ultimately, it's through His power that believers endure, which assures them of their eternal reward.
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrews 12:2, 1 Peter 1
