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 shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto saving health.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
11 and [that] every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord in 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 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
5 He that overcomes shall likewise be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, unto which thou art also called, having made a good profession before many witnesses.
23 let us hold fast the profession of [our] hope without wavering (for he [is] faithful that promised).
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 unto thee, and I have not hid my iniquity. I said, I will confess (against myself) my rebellions unto the LORD, and thou shalt forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
24 [Chet] The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore I will wait for him.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of the hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah.:
