Remain Steadfast In God’s Word & Work

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jun 26, 2023

It’s fitting for us to consider the Apostle Paul’s final words to his co-worker Timothy on this day (June 25), for the Lutherans of 1530 who presented the Augsburg Confession took seriously Paul’s encouragement and so should we: “Remain steadfast in God’s Word and work.”

On this day 493 years ago, Lutheran princes gathered in south-central Germany, in a town 50 miles outside of Munich and presented a confession of faith to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. This presentation of the Augsburg Confession on June 25, 1530 is generally recognized as the birth of the ...read more
