Meditations on 1 Thessalonians 5:21, “Test all things; hold fast what is good.”

Testing means we need to make sure things are genuine. There is only one way to do that, hold it up to the Word of God. If it fails, get it out of your life!

If it passes the test as genuine, hold fast and do not let go. We would have no problem understanding the strength of the phrase “hold fast” if we were drowning and a rope were thrown to us. So hold on tight

Do not take on any behavior or thought without testing it. Then, do what you’ve got to do – let go or hold on! – Joe
