Lesson 12
Confessing Christ
Jesus wants us to confess Him before men. In Matthew
10:32-33 he says, "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I
will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me
before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven."
If we deny Christ we are going to be lost. We must not be ashamed to
confess to other people that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God. Jesus says in Mark 8:38, "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My
words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also
will be ashamed when he comes in the glory of His Father with the holy
angels." If He is ashamed of us, that means that we are going to be
lost.
There are several examples of people confessing their faith in Christ
in the Bible. One is found in Matthew 16:16-17, "Simon Peter answered
and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus
answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, for flesh and
blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven."
Christ was well pleased with Peter's confession and He will be with ours
also.
In Acts 8:36-37 a man asked the question, "See here is
water. What hinders me from being baptized?" Then in
verse 37, "Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart
you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God." Here we see that we must believe with all our
heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not be ashamed to make that
confession to others before we are baptized. Would you be willing to confess to others that you believe that
Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God?
