Q1. Holding Fast to Our Confession


Recommended Posts

Q1. (Hebrews 4:14) What is so important about "holding fast to our confession." What is our confession or profession of faith? Why is maintaining this confession so vital?

Because of what Jesus did to secure our salvation, and because the powers of the "air" are fighting against our profession of faith,trying to trick us into failing and/or turning our back on Jesus, we need to shout it from the mountain what great things God has done for us! Confess Jesus as Lord of our life, and take the message to the people! If we don't do this on a regular basis, we will find ourselves on the outside looking in when the time comes to go home! The longer we go without our profession and confession, the harder it will be to come back when we finally decide that we want to! And, if we wait too long, we may get the door shut in our face!

We have to hold fast to our confession in Jesus Christ because He is our hope for eternal life. Our confession is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, he died for our sins, and rose from the grave to give us eternal life. Maintaining our confession is showing our faith in what Christ did for us. It shows that perseverance in faithfulness is proof of real faith.

Holding on to our confession is important because it’s our acknowledgement and confession of our faith; that we believe in God the Father and that Jesus is His Son who was born of a virgin, died on the cross, rose from the grave on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is sitting at the right hand of the Father, who created heaven and earth. Our confession is vital because we must hold on to our faith. It must be active and is important to our eternal life.

It is important to hold onto our confession because we have to know what we believe in. If we don’t know what we believe in then we will be thrown around like the wind and start believing in what the world believes in. We believe in the one and only God and that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that He rose again and is sitting at the right hand of God.

By holding fast to our confession of faith that God the Father created heaven and earth and Jesus Christ is His only Son, keeps us from drifting into unbelief, Christ is our Savior and without Him we have no eternal life.

Our confession of faith lets others know that we believe and put our faith in Christ and this we hold fast to.

This confession is vital to us as believers in our faith and it states our allegiance to Christ as a witness to others, believers and non-believers.

It is important to hold fast to our confession if we want to enter into God's rest, which is promised to those of us who believe.  that rest is heaven, where God is.  That is the whole reason we believe, to see God and live with him when we leave this earth.  Our confession is that Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and was raised from the dead.  He is Lord, the promised Messiah of the prophets in the old testament, the one who was promised to come to redeem man from his sin and restore him back to God who created him.. It is vital for us to maintain this confession because that is the will of God that we do this in order to be redeemed back to him. We are here to do the will of the father and that will is stated in the bible, which we are to believe and follow.  "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man;  for God shall bring every word into judgement with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil".

When we choose to hold fast to it we are not just showing to the world but to the Lord that we have chosen to taken up an allegiance with Him and also believe in Him and stand for things that He believes in. Our confession of faith is Jesus Christ is Lord. The reason it is important is because when we least expect it we may end up persecuted for our faith and asked to forsake it.

The importance of holding fast to our confession is the fact that Jesus is both Lord and Savior of our lives and that He is God and the Son of God who died on a cross at Calvary for the world's sins over 2,000 yrs ago and was born to Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem.  It is vital because it keeps us strong in our faith and also our faith is not is a religion but a relationship with God.

What is so important about "holding fast to our confession." We live in a fallen world 24/7; we are subject to potential persecution by our faith we can and must approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time in these physical bodies.

What is our confession or profession of faith? LORD Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior of the world. 

Why is maintaining this confession so vital? We must seek and receive strength from the Holy Spirit to be faithful during our divine appointments. This is God's will  over our lives, now and forever

Keeping our faith in God no matter what the circumstance. We must continue to have faith in God and Jesus without holding on to that we have circum to the things of this world. 

What is our confession or profession of faith?

Believing that Jesus is the son of God who came here to earth in the form of man. Who took on all our sins, laying his life down for us on the cross. He rose again in 3 days defeating death for all those who believe in him and is now seated at the right hand of God in heaven.

If you don’t maintain it then you no longer believe in God.
