Negação de Cristo
Negar a Cristo é o ato mais grave que um ser humano pode cometer. Jesus advertiu: quem me negar diante dos homens, eu o negarei diante do meu Pai que está nos céus.
A advertência de Jesus
Jesus alertou sobre as consequências eternas de negá-lo. Quem se envergonha dele, dele o Filho do Homem se envergonhará quando vier em glória.
But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."
If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
