What Is Confession?
By
Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9)
What is confession? First, it's affirming something that we believe.
Second, it's testifying to something that we know. And third, it's
witnessing for a truth that we've embraced.
What are we to confess? Well, our confession should center around five
things: What God in Christ has wrought for us in His great plan of
redemption.
What God through the Word and the Holy Spirit has wrought in us in the
New Birth and the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
What we are to God the Father in Christ Jesus. What Jesus is doing for
us now at the right hand of the Father in His present-day ministry.
What the Word of God will do through our lips. Now you cannot confess
or witness about things you do not know about. It's what you
personally know about the Lord Jesus Christ and what you are in Him
that counts.
If you were called to be a witness in court, it's not what you have heard
about that counts. It's what you've seen and what you know for
yourself that counts.
Hearsay isn't accepted. And your opinion isn't accepted. They want to
know what you know!
Confession I read and study the Word to find out what belongs to
me in Christ - what I have as a result of Jesus' death, burial, and
resurrection. Then I walk in the light of that knowledge. I confess
what belongs to me.
