Luke 12:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.
We disown Jesus when we 1.) hope no one will think we are Christians, 2.) decide not to speak up for what is right, 3.) are silent about our relationship with God, 4.) blend into society, 5.) accept our culture's non-Christian values.
By contrast, we acknowledge Him when we 1.) live moral, upright, Christ-honoring lives, 2.) look for opportunities to share our faith with others, 3.) help others in need, 4.) take a stand for justice, 5.) love others, 6.) acknowledge our loyalty to Christ, 7.) use our lives and resources to carry out His desires rather than ours.
