What are the three importance of confirmation?

The rite of confirmation includes three key parts: the renewal of baptismal vows, the laying on of hands by the bishop and anointing with the sacred chrism oil. The renewal of baptismal promises is a reminder that as Christians, we have essentially “died” to our own lives and begin our new life in Christ in the Church.
