Brethren, the faith once delivered is a sacred trust that we must uphold with reverence and respect for our Creator. It encompasses how we come before God, not in any manner we choose, but as He has prescribed, showing deep respect in our dress and attitude. This faith, delivered through God's chosen servants, includes practices such as the requirement for speakers to wear white shirts, setting an example of respect for the congregation. The Sabbath, a sign between us and God, is also a vital part of the faith once delivered. It is holy time, not for everyday chores or casual activities, but for prayer, in-depth Bible study, meditation on God's laws, and drawing closer to one another through God-centered conversation. Yet, we see deviations such as "Church in the Park," which is merely a picnic and an abomination to the holiness of the Sabbath, showing no respect or eagerness to learn God's way of life. Furthermore, the faith once delivered warns against dating and marrying out of the faith, protecting us from compromise and potential spiritual loss. God's laws, part of this faith, are designed to shield us from misery and guide us toward His Kingdom. However, we observe many straying, adding to or taking away from this faith in various practices and doctrines within the greater churches of God. Just as the Israelites failed to keep the faith once delivered, compromising over generations until God sent them into captivity, we too risk such consequences if we do not hold fast. God has given us all the tools to succeed—His Son's sacrifice, the Holy Spirit, and our calling—tools the Israelites did not have. He urges us to keep the faith once delivered, promising the Kingdom through trials, and warns that it will not be easy. We must not seek comfort over truth, but steadfastly defend the faith once delivered to us.

Keeping the faith once delivered and enduring until the end is critical to our spiritual well-being as we head for the Kingdom of God. The faith once delivered is the Word of God, the Bible, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 and every word in between. God tells us to stay focused on this faith and not be distracted by the crazy times we live in. We must endure until the end, as many have left the faith once delivered, allowing the world to get the best of them and giving up. There are great rewards for us if we keep the faith once delivered and endure until the end, but there are also penalties if we fail to do so. In these trying times at the end of the age, our main focus must be on Christ and the Bible, not on the chaotic world around us. God will be with us, guiding and directing us through these difficulties as long as we keep the faith once delivered and keep on keeping on. We must have the faith to endure, no matter the hardships, knowing that He loves us and will take care of us. If we can endure to the end, our reward and crown will be unbelievable.
