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.
That if thou acknowledge in thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believest in thine heart, that God raised him from death, thou shalt be safe.
For by heart me [or men] believeth to rightwiseness, but by mouth acknowledging is made to health.
For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, for to me each knee shall be bowed, and each tongue shall acknowledge to God.
and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is 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.
Whoever acknowledgeth, that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
He that overcometh, shall be clothed thus with white clothes; and I shall not do away his name from the book of life, and I shall acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Strive thou a good strife of faith, catch everlasting life, into which thou art called, and hast acknowledged a good acknowledging before many witnesses.
and hold we the confession of our hope, bowing to no side, [or unbowing, or unpliable]; for he is true that hath made the promise.
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.
I made my sin known to thee; and I hid not my unrightfulness. I said, I shall acknowledge against me mine unrightfulness to the Lord; and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
My soul said, The Lord is my part; therefore I shall abide him.
Who is this king of glory? the Lord of virtuesor the Lord of hosts, he is the king of glory.
