YOUR PUBLIC CONFESSION

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

“ Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. ³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33

I ask grace to confess my Master: frank and open confession will ratify and deepen my own piety. When I tell forth the truth that is in me — that truth becomes clearer, more vivid, more noble and wondrous and regal, to my own mind. When I avow and defend my Lord — He assumes larger proportions in my thoughts, He is dearer and more precious to my heart. It is best for me to be outspoken and brave. It is a great means of spiritual safety. It is a mighty instrument of growth.

I ask grace to confess my Master: unfaltering and fearless confession will move and conquer others. Let me sound out my convictions with trumpet tones. Let me fight against sin and give no quarter. Let me make my boast of Jesus — impugn my Saviour whoever wills. Some will scorn and hate me for it. Some will mock and ridicule me. But some will be touched, melted, gained, as they never would be by silence and acquiescence. This is how the kingdom of righteousness and peace and joy goes from strength to strength.

A PASTORAL MESSAGE TO THE ELDERS OF THE SPIRITUAL BAPTIST FAITH

I ask grace to confess my Master: decided and courageous confession pleases Him and wins His approbation. What does He say? “I will also acknowledge him before my Father in Heaven.” How overflowing the recompense, how royal the reward — for my poor words and deeds! To have Jesus speak well of me — shall I not go through fire and water if this is the goal? Shall I not make light of obstacles, and laugh at impossibilities, and ride dauntless up to every Dark Tower?

So I will not hide His love within my heart!
