This concept is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating God's faithfulness, human responsibility, and the divine protection afforded to believers. Divine Protection and Preservation One of the most significant aspects of being "kept" in the Bible is the assurance of God's protection over His people. In the Old Testament, the Psalms frequently highlight this theme. <a href="/psalms/121-7.htm">Psalm 121:7-8</a> declares, "The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul. The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore." Here, the psalmist emphasizes God's role as a guardian who actively preserves the lives of His followers. In the New Testament, the concept of being "kept" is further developed in the context of salvation and eternal security. <a href="/jude/1-24.htm">Jude 1:24</a> states, "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy." This verse underscores the belief that God not only initiates salvation but also sustains and preserves believers until the end. Human Responsibility While divine preservation is a central theme, Scripture also speaks to the responsibility of individuals to "keep" God's commandments and teachings. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were repeatedly instructed to keep the laws given by God. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-17.htm">Deuteronomy 6:17</a> commands, "You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and His testimonies and statutes He has commanded you." In the New Testament, Jesus reiterates the importance of keeping His commandments as a demonstration of love and faithfulness. In <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a> , Jesus says, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." This reflects the idea that obedience is a natural response to a relationship with Christ and a way to remain in His love. Spiritual Vigilance The concept of being "kept" also extends to spiritual vigilance and readiness. Believers are encouraged to keep watch over their hearts and lives, remaining steadfast in faith. <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." This verse highlights the importance of maintaining spiritual integrity and being vigilant against influences that could lead one astray. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul exhorts believers to be watchful and to stand firm in their faith. In <a href="/1_corinthians/16-13.htm">1 Corinthians 16:13</a> , he writes, "Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong." This call to vigilance is a reminder of the ongoing spiritual battle and the need for believers to be proactive in their faith journey. Conclusion The biblical concept of being "kept" encompasses both divine action and human responsibility. It assures believers of God's unwavering protection and preservation while also calling them to a life of obedience, vigilance, and faithfulness. Through God's grace, believers are kept secure in their relationship with Him, empowered to live out their faith in a world that often challenges their commitment.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
