Lesson - 11
Confessing Christ

Jesus wants us to confess Him before men.

Matthew 10:32-33
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which 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. If He is ashamed of us, that means that we are going to be lost.

Mark 8:38
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

One of the several examples of people
confessing their faith in Christ in the Bible.

Christ was well pleased with Peter's confession and He will be with ours also.

Matthew 16:16-17
"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

Here we see that we must
believe with all our heart that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

We must 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?

Acts 8:36-37
"And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
