Confirmation Class: Choosing Christ
December 28th, 2008 | 
Author: December 28, 2008
Choosing Christ means continuing with Him
1. Do you remember when you first accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? What happened?
The first time you choose Jesus Christ is just the beginning. You don’t choose Him only once and then stop. You need to grow in your relationship with him. Sometimes, you will find you will need to reaffirm your choice in Jesus Christ.
2. In the first part of II Timothy 3:14, what does it say we should do?
It’s easy to make a choice once, but then drift away from it some time later. Many people become spiritual drop-outs. There are thousands of people wandering around in sin and spiritual confusion, who chose Jesus Christ once upon a time, but didn’t stay with Him. The sad thing is that most of them didn’t realize they were drifting away. It happened so gradually and accidentally. They just slid away little by little, until one day there was a big separation between them and Christ.
3. How can you avoid that happening to you?
4. In John 15:4, what does Jesus tell us to do?
Every so often, dedicate your life to Christ again. Every birthday, every Christmas, every Easter, and perhaps on other special days, take the time to say again that you still choose Christ and intend to follow Him. During these times of dedication, examine your life, your habits, and your attitudes.
a. Are you still giving enough time every day to Bible reading and prayer?
b. Are you still attending worship and Bible study regularly?
c. Are you still witnessing for Christ and growing spiritually?
5. In Hebrews 10:36, what does it say we need?
7. If you knew someone who had chosen Christ in the past, and then drifted away and stopped following Him, what could you say or do to help them get back on the right track?
