“I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.” That would be JOB 19:25 and it would also be the verse I chose to write my confirmation essay on. There were many verses to choose from, I had heard a lot of them before and some had special meaning. This one kind of jumped out at me in a way, though. I was reading through them and this one just…made sense. I don’t actually know how to explain it. Just that reading it I had this sense of understanding that I didn’t have with the other verses. It’s self-explanatory, but there’s so much to be said about it. It’s saying that no matter if we believe or forget and get caught up in our lives, God is still there, He still lives, and one day He will come to rule the earth again and you won’t be forgotten in the same way that you’ve forgotten Him. It shows how much God has been through for us, but that we don’t really appreciate it as much as we should. It’s this ongoing love that He has for us that shows us that however much wrong we do Him, He still loves us and that love will continue shining through until the day when He returns to earth and claims us as His. It’s saying if you believe in God no matter how many slip-ups you make and do the wrong thing, as long as you have faith and truly believe, God can and will forgive you. That’s His everlasting love and grace showing through. It’s special to me because it makes me think. It makes me feel secure with myself, knowing that I can mess up and will be forgiven. Knowing that I can make mistakes and can still have everlasting life. It’s thought-provoking. The verse really makes you thankful, but it makes you realize that everyone is a sinner. That no matter what people think, God is the highest power. Higher than any humans. More perfect than anything and when He returns He’ll prove it.
