 Paul has just said in 2 Timothy chapter 4 he says to preach the word and he's speaking about sound doctrine. He's saying that his death is at hand and he says for him he's fought the good fight and he has kept the faith. And I want you to notice what he means by I have kept the faith. He's not saying that I have kept believing, no. He uses the Greek word tereo which is to guard, to keep, to safeguard and he uses the word the faith not having faith but the faith. In other words he has kept the belief. He has kept sound doctrine. He has made sure that all throughout his life, even at the point of death, that's important. And as we read further he calls out specifically Alexander who has not kept the faith who was as a matter of fact opposed the preaching of the actual faith. Now Paul is saying this at his death bed. Why is that important? Because he wants us to know of utmost importance to him and to God is that we keep what the word of God actually says.
