Keep on - two words with much meaning. To keep on one must have begun the journey. There must have been a clear starting point - a launching pad of sorts from which one begins to take the steps in some particular venture. For believers, this is the moment they say yes to Jesus. For non-believers, this might be the moment they begin to feel the niggling of need in their life which causes they to be curious to find what is missing in their lives. Either way, there is this starting point. To keep on also implies there is a tendency in us to be slowed down, or even stopped completely along this journey. The words are instruction, but they are also encouragement. There are times when keep on will take on the meaning of a prod to get us into movement again, while at others they are simply words to encourage us to not give up. As we consider this instruction today, let us not forget the tendency we have to become discouraged or distracted - either of these traits can keep us from keeping on in our pursuit of all that is Gods best for our lives. Keep on being faithful to what you were taught and to what you believed. After all, you know who taught you these things. Since childhood, you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to make you wise enough to have faith in Christ Jesus and be saved. Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God’s servants to do all kinds of good deeds.
