“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father Who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father Who is in heaven.” --Matthew 10:32, 33 “He who would confess Christ must have Christ abiding in him. He cannot communicate that which he has not received. THE DISCIPLES MIGHT SPEAK FLUENTLY ON DOCTRINES, THEY MIGHT REPEAT THE WORDS OF CHRIST HIMSELF; BUT UNLESS THEY POSSESSED CHRISTLIKE MEEKNESS AND LOVE, THEY WERE NOT CONFESSING HIM. A spirit contrary to the spirit of Christ would deny Him, whatever the profession. Men may deny Christ by evilspeaking, by foolish talking, by words that are untruthful or unkind. They may deny Him by shunning life’s burdens, by the pursuit of sinful pleasure. They may deny Him by conforming to the world, by uncourteous behavior, by the love of their own opinions, by justifying self, by cherishing doubt, borrowing trouble, and dwelling in darkness. In all these ways they declare that Christ is not in them.” --The Desire of Ages, 357.
