Whoever Confesses Me Before Men
Public allegiance to Jesus has eternal weight.
Jesus ties present confession to future acknowledgement, warning that denial now carries ultimate consequence.
Scripture
Matthew 10:32-33
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Luke 12:8-9
8 "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
