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, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
if we endure,
we will also reign with him;
if we deny him,
he will also deny us;
