Remain Faithful
Confirmation Sunday is important for the newly confirmed, but is also a good reminder for all Christians of the commitment we have made to Christ. The confirmation vows should not be taken lightly, not when first spoken or for the rest of life. Paul wrote to Timothy about making an effort to remain faithful to God:
"But you, man of God, run from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the faith; take hold of eternal life that you were called to and have made a good confession about in the presence of many witnesses. In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you to keep the command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. God will bring this about in His own time. He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, the only One who has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; no one has seen or can see Him, to Him be honor and eternal might. Amen." (1 Timothy 6:11–16 NIV)
He’s worth it! The Lord is the only true God. He is the only Savior. And he is more committed to you than you could ever be committed to him! Trust in the goodness, grace, and promised salvation of God. Make the effort to fight the good fight against the influences of sin, but above all, stand firm on his unchanging promises to you!
