Do not deny Jesus

Sometimes we have to think before acting, because there are times when we do things on impulse or because others are forcing you to do such a thing, and you, because they forced you, made the mistake of doing it. In this case we will talk about Jesus and about salvation, which is the same.

In our daily lives, decisions often come surrounded by pressure, fear, or uncertainty. Many people allow circumstances, opinions, or even emotions to guide their choices, without stopping to reflect on the eternal consequences of what they decide. When it comes to salvation, this reality becomes even more serious, because it is not a simple or temporary decision, but one that impacts our present life and our eternity.

When we deny Jesus our savior, who died on the cross of Calvary, we are saying that His sacrifice was worthless, that all this that the Father did for the love of humanity was in vain. But it was not in vain, nor was it a waste, because, as many reject Him, others accept Him and abide. The cross stands as the greatest demonstration of divine love, a love that was willing to give everything so that humanity could have hope, forgiveness, and reconciliation with God.

At that time when Jesus was giving His sermons through the cities of those places He visited, there were the multitudes of people who attended. Many were there for a miracle, others for being saved, others who were going to murmur to the Master, and there were also spectators. Each group approached Jesus with a different intention, yet His message was always clear and direct, calling people to repentance, faith, and a sincere commitment to God.

Among those multitudes, some listened attentively and allowed the words of Jesus to transform their hearts, while others hardened themselves, unwilling to accept the truth that confronted their way of living. This same reality continues today, because the message of the Gospel still produces different reactions in people’s hearts.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 10:32

But the Father, to all who confess Him before men, He will also confess them before God who is in heaven, leaving us told that we should not reject Him, we should not reject our Savior, because if we do, He also will do it before His Father there in heaven. Confessing Christ is not only a verbal declaration, but a lifestyle that reflects obedience, faith, and gratitude for the salvation we have received.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 10:33

The truth is that denying Jesus has always existed, sometimes we meet people that when you talk to them about the Savior, and you ask them “do you want Jesus as your only and sufficient savior?” They say “no, not now because I have to think about it”. In order to accept Jesus we must not think about it in the sense of postponing obedience, because we do not lose anything by saying “yes”, rather, we gain everything. In Him we receive forgiveness, peace, purpose, and eternal life.

The Bible tells us that whoever denies Him here on earth, He will deny them before His Father who is in heaven. This is not a threat, but a warning full of love, urging us to understand the seriousness of rejecting the grace that God freely offers through His Son.

Let’s look for Jesus, do not deny Him, let us not say that we have to think about it, because the enemy every time you reject Jesus, he takes that moment and makes his own. Do not be fooled. God is at the door and knocks, if anyone hears His voice, do not harden your heart. Today is the day to open your heart to Christ, to confess Him openly, and to live under the assurance that our salvation rests safely in Him.
