“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come” (Revelation 2:25).
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take they crown” (Revelation 3:11).
I have occasionally seen small children holding on very tightly to something, perhaps a favorite toy, some money, or something else that was of value to them. Why did they hold onto it so tightly? It was usually because they were afraid that some other child would take it away from them.
When we have received precious truth from the Lord, it is important to value it, to walk in it, and as our verses today tell us, to “hold fast” what we have. This is necessary because Satan is doing his best to take it away from us. If we do not walk in the truth that the Lord has given us, we may lose it. We may not have as much as someone else has, but what we have we are to hold fast. Also, the Lord will reward us for walking in the truth that He has given us, because it honors Him.
