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 because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.
11 for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."
11 and every tongue confess 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 confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
5 He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, 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 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah]
24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
10 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. [ (Psalms 24:11) Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory! [Selah] ]
