Reconhecer
Reconhecer a Jesus como Senhor é o fundamento da fé cristã. A confissão de fé é o ato de declarar publicamente quem Jesus é e a quem pertencemos.
Confissão e salvação
Se confessarmos com a boca que Jesus é Senhor e crermos no coração que Deus o ressuscitou, seremos salvos.
9 that if thou will confess with thy mouth, Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved.
10 For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation.
11 For it is written, I live, says Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God.
11 and that every tongue should acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Reconhecer a fé
Reconhecer a Jesus é um ato de coragem e compromisso. Quem o confessar diante dos homens, Ele confessará diante do Pai.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
5 He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life for which thou are called, and confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
23 Let us hold firm the affirmation of the hope unwavering, for he who promised is faithful.
Reconhecer o pecado e a bondade de Deus
Reconhecer nossos pecados é o caminho para o perdão. E reconhecer que o Senhor é nossa porção nos dá esperança inabalável.
5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to LORD, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
24 LORD is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.
10 Who is this King of glory? LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
