Keep: What We Are To Do

Then Jesus said to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12; NJKV).

My Prayer: Keep me where the light is...

What We Are To Do

Keep – tereo (tay-reh'-o); from teros (a watch); to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from NT:5442, which is properly to prevent escaping (Strong’s).

Thayer’s – to attend to carefully, take care of, to observe.

I am to "keep" His commandments (John 14:15).

If I know Him, I will "keep" His commandments (1 John 2:3).

I "keep" myself in His love through obedience to Him (Jude 21).
