Thirdly, you must hold the Truth in the profession of it, Heb. 10.23. Let us hold fast the profession of the Truth, or of the Faith, without wavering. We must not only believe with the Heart, but confess with the Mouth, if we would be saved: When Peter denied his Master with his Mouth, and said, I know him not, I am persuaded, he denied him not in his heart. It is a dangerous thing in word, or outward profession, to renounce the truth or any part of it. Hold fast the profession of the Truth.
Thirdly, you must hold the Truth in the profession of it, Heb. 10.23. Let us hold fast the profession of the Truth, or of the Faith, without wavering. We must not only believe with the Heart, but confess with the Mouth, if we would be saved: When Peter denied his Master with his Mouth, and said, I know him not, I am perswaded, he denied him not in his heart. It is a dangerous thing in word, or outward profession, to renounce the truth or any part of it. Hold fast the profession of the Truth.
Fourthly, We must hold the Truths of God fast in our life and conversation: this the Apostle calls, Walking in Christ; and holding forth the Word of Life, in a blameless and harmless Conversation. We must hold fast the Truths of God in our lives.
Fifthly, We must do all this constantly, hold fast the Truth in our Judgement and Affection, Profession and Conversation, constantly and at all times; as David, I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, even unto the end; We must not only in times of calmness and serenity, when we may have all the peace and applause of the world, hold fast the Truth and Profession of it; but it stormy times when Truth may burn a mans fingers if he hold it, yet even then we must hold it fast.
