Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
I doubt we could ever overexpress the importance of standing upon the things we’ve been taught. It’s always been the case, but it is absolutely
the case that, today, professing believers routinely reject traditional things. Those things they were taught as younger Christians are often dismissed out of hand and with mocking disgust. In many cases, their spirit has been passed down to new Christians, who reject what believers of past generations practiced without reasonably considering their teachings. What a tragedy. It’s leading to a declination of faith that is totally unprecedented.
But the lesson I want to focus on today is the value of the Word of God. Paul said that those things taught in his epistle are as powerful and as weighty as if he were there in person to preach and teach.
Talk about a tradition. The Bible is, in a manner, as if we stepped back in time and hear the apostle, working under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, teaching us in person.
