Where Is It?
Hebrews 4:13-15 (English Standard Version)
14) Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Where is it?
What I am talking about is the confession of your faith. Where is it? As I have said many times, I was raised in church. I have noticed a steep decline in seeing public confessions of faith in Christ, in our churches today. Most people today wouldn’t even know that they are sitting with, working with, even hanging out with a Christ-follower! This is wrong. I’m not suggesting you wear Christian t-shirts or put fish symbols and “turn or burn” bumper stickers on your vehicles. What I want to know is where is your confession? When is the last time you shared with someone how God has changed your life? When is the last time you told someone that you are a Christ-Follower?
Your confession was never meant to be a private thing. Your confession is powerful, not just for others to hear, but for yourself!
Romans 10:16-18
16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Other people’s faith is strengthened and challenged by your confession. Your faith is strengthened when you confess His goodness and mercy and grace. It is not a point of shame, but of glorious worship!
Don’t be ashamed to share your testimony with others
