It signifies the act of observing, guarding, or maintaining something with diligence and care. In the context of Scripture, "keepeth" frequently refers to the observance of God's commandments, the guarding of one's heart, or the maintenance of faithfulness to God's covenant.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage and Significance</b><br><br>1. <b>Observance of God's Commandments</b>: The concept of keeping God's commandments is central to the biblical narrative. In the Old Testament, the Israelites are repeatedly instructed to keep the laws given by God as a sign of their covenant relationship with Him. For example, in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-17.htm">Deuteronomy 6:17</a> , it is written, "You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and His testimonies and statutes He has commanded you."<br><br>2. <b>Guarding the Heart</b>: The Bible emphasizes the importance of guarding one's heart as a source of life and moral integrity. <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> states, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." The act of keeping one's heart involves vigilance against sin and a commitment to purity and righteousness.<br><br>3. <b>Faithfulness to God's Covenant</b>: Keeping the covenant with God is a recurring theme, especially in the context of the promises made to the patriarchs and the nation of Israel. In <a href="/psalms/25-10.htm">Psalm 25:10</a> , it is declared, "All the paths of the LORD are loving devotion and truth to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies."<br><br>4. <b>New Testament Perspective</b>: In the New Testament, the concept of "keepeth" extends to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus Himself emphasizes the importance of keeping His words as a demonstration of love and discipleship. In <a href="/john/14-21.htm">John 14:21</a> , Jesus says, "Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."<br><br>5. <b>Endurance and Perseverance</b>: The act of keeping faith and enduring trials is highlighted in the New Testament as a mark of true believers. In <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> , it is written, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The use of "keepeth" in Scripture underscores the importance of active obedience and faithfulness in the believer's life. It reflects a commitment to living according to God's will and maintaining a relationship with Him through adherence to His commandments. This obedience is not merely a legalistic observance but is rooted in love and devotion to God, as seen in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. The concept of "keepeth" thus serves as a reminder of the believer's responsibility to live a life that honors God and reflects His character.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/hogg/the_diatessaron_of_tatian/section_xlvi_whosoever_hath_my.htm"><span class="l">Whosoever Hath My Commandments, and <b>Keepeth</b> Them, He it is that <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> The Text of the Diatessaron.
