In a vibrant ceremony held at ACK Defathas Parish, believers gathered for a profound occasion of confirmation and the rededication of DET (Diocesan Evangelism Team) members to their mission and outreach endeavors. Led by Bishop, the service was a testament to the enduring commitment of the congregation to their faith and calling.
Message of Spiritual Rebirth
Drawing from the powerful words of 1 John 5:8, the sermon emphasized the transformative journey of being born of God. The threefold witness of water, blood, and spirit underscored the essential elements of faith and salvation:
- Water: Symbolizing the cleansing and rebirth through baptism, believers were reminded of their initiation into the family of God.
- Blood: Reflecting the sacrifice of Christ and the assurance of salvation, the shedding of blood signified the redemption offered to all who believe.
- Spirit: As the seal of salvation and the source of divine inspiration, the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live out their faith and share the truth of the Gospel.
Belief in Jesus
Central to the message was the call to believe in Jesus as the fundamental step toward being born of God. Through faith in Christ, individuals experience the transformative power of spiritual rebirth and are equipped to bear witness to His redeeming love.
Renewed Commitment
Against the backdrop of the confirmation ceremony and the rededication of DET members, the service served as a catalyst for renewed commitment to the mission of spreading the Gospel. Participants were inspired to reaffirm their calling and actively engage in outreach efforts within their communities.
As the congregation departed, their hearts were stirred with a renewed sense of purpose and passion for advancing the kingdom of God, empowered by the assurance of their spiritual rebirth and the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit
