"Hold Fast"

In the movie “Master and Commander”, one of the sailors had the letters H-O-L-D F-A-S-T tattooed onto his fingers, one letter on each digit. I assume he meant to remind himself to "Hold Fast" to the ropes controlling the sails. Letting go could result in death. Valerie, my fifteen-year-old daughter, wrote the same letters on her fingers in ink.

In Deuteronomy 30:20 we are reminded to "Hold fast to Him."

Hebrews 10:23: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised IS faithful.”

1 Thessalonians 5:21b: “Hold fast to that which is good.”

Revelation 2:25: “Neverthless what you have, hold fast until I come.”

Revelation 3:3: “Remeber therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent.”

Revelation 3:11: “Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.”

Hold fast to Jesus! It will result in everlasting life.
