Let us hold fast to our profession of faith without wavering (Hebrews 10:23)
We don’t use the expression hold fast much anymore. In the original Greek, hold fast meant not only to embrace, but to embrace with such force as if someone was trying to take something from you. In other words, you’ve got to hold on with a firm grip or you’re going to lose it. In the passage above, St. Paul reminds us that we must hold fast to our profession of faith.
