Answer:
You promise that you will continue to be an active and vital part of the church, the “body of
Christ.”
You promise that you won’t disappear from church. You promise that you will continue to worship God
regularly, that you will cherish the opportunity to receive the Lord’s Supper and that you will be involved
in the life and ministry of the church. You will continue to grow in your knowledge of the Bible and
strive to have a strong prayer life. You will do this of your own free will. By keeping this promise you’ll
say, “God loves me and I’m going to stand up and let the world know I love him, too.”
Some people incorrectly think they can live out faith in isolation apart from the church. But this is not
God’s intention. The Bible only speaks of faith as an active part of a community of believers. The church
is where God wants us to be. It is God’s will.
2. You promise to share the Good News of your faith in Jesus by the things you say and the things
you do.
You promise that you’ll live to imitate Jesus (Ephesians 5:1-2), to be an “ambassador for Christ” (2
Corinthians 5:20) to all those you know, helping them to know and believe the saving Gospel. What you
do and say either builds people up and makes them better, or tears them down and harms them. You
promise that your words and deeds will bring honor and glory to our Lord Jesus and help others to grow
in faith.
3. You promise that you will follow Jesus’ example and serve God by serving others. You will show
your love for God by the love you give to people in God’s holy name.
You promise that you will live for something bigger than yourself. The world has enough selfish, selfcentered people. You will live for God. Your life will show your love for God by what you do for
others. These deeds may be big and seen by many, or small and known to no one. But God knows. You
promise to seek ways in which you can live out the Great Commandment (Luke 10:25-27), as you “love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all
your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Your life will be one giant “Thank You” to God.
