Confession |
Psalm 32
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my
iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD "- and you
forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
1 John 1
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Proverbs 28
13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever
confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
James 5
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective.
Matthew 10
32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him
before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I
will disown him before my Father in heaven.
2 Timothy 2
19Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with
this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who
confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
Romans 14
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look
down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It
is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before
me; every tongue will confess to God.'
Philippians 2
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him
the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2 John 1
7Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in
the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the
antichrist.
1 John 4
15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives
in him and he in God.
1 John 4
Test the Spirits
1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone
out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from
God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from
God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and
even now is already in the world.
Revelation 3
5He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will
never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name
before my Father and his angels.
