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.

Reconhecer a fé
Reconhecer a Jesus é um ato de coragem e compromisso. Quem o confessar diante dos homens, Ele confessará diante do Pai.

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.
