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 mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
10 for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 for it hath been written, I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;
11 and every tongue may 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 may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;
5 He who is overcoming -- this one -- shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.
12 be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.
23 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did 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.
5 My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah, And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
24 My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.
10 Who [is] He -- this king of glory? Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
