What does it mean to be confirmed in faith?

Confirmation in faith involves a divine affirmation of what God has already done in the hearts of believers. It is a process where believers are assured of their standing in Christ, and the truth of God’s word is ratified in their lives. Just as Paul and Barnabas returned to encourage and confirm the disciples in Acts 14, today's ministry aims to uphold and solidify believers' faith, reminding them of their election and the grace in which they stand. This confirmation is necessary as it encourages believers to withstand trials and tribulations, helping them to recognize the work of God in their lives.
