8 This is what
the Scripture says: “God’s teaching is near you; it is in your

people.
9 If you openly
say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised
Him from death, you will be saved.
10 Yes, we
believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with
God. And we openly say that we believe in Him, and so we are saved.
11 Yes, The
Scriptures say, “Anyone who trusts in Him will never be
disappointed.”

So I want you
to know that no one speaking by The Spirit Of God will curse Jesus,

9 Therefore,
God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name
above all other names,

name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under
the earth,
11 and every
tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
II Timothy 1:8
NLT
So never be
ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me,
either, even though I’m in prison for Him. With the strength God
gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of The Good News.
I John 2:22,23
KJV
22 Who is a
liar but he that denieth that Jesus is The Christ? He is Antichrist,
that denieth The Father and The Son.
23 Whosoever
denieth The Son, the same hath not The Father: he that acknowledgeth
The Son hath The Father also.
I John 4:2,15
KJV
2 Hereby know
ye The Spirit Of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God:
15Whosoever
shall confess that Jesus is The Son Of God, God dwelleth in him, and
he in God.
Prayer:
Hebrews 13:15
NLT
Therefore, let
us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God,
proclaiming our allegiance to His name.
Oh Lord, may we as Christians, never come to the place, where we are
ashamed of our faith in
you, our Savior. You were willing to suffer shame,
humiliation and death for us, may we always boldly stand for you!
Romans 1:16 KJV
For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to
the Greek.
