What does the Bible say about confirmation in Christ?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that confirmation in Christ is a work God performs for us and in us through Jesus Christ, establishing our assurance of salvation.
In 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, Paul discusses the concept of confirmation as being established, settled, and assured in salvation through Jesus Christ. This confirmation is not something we achieve through our own efforts or decisions but is a sovereign act of God that begins when we are brought to faith and continues until we are glorified. True confirmation is rooted in what Christ accomplished on the cross, where He provided an everlasting righteousness through His obedience and sacrifice, fulfilling the law on our behalf. Therefore, biblical confirmation is fundamentally about the grace given to us by God, confirming believers in faith and securing our salvation eternally.
