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 with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.
11 for it is written, »As I live,' says the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall make confession to God.'«
11 and that every tongue should 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 acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God–God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.
5 »In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.«
12 Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.
23 Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.
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.
