To Confess Christ [G3670] homologeo
To speak the same words, to establish an agreement, to declare openly
When we speak for Christ, we speak as Christ, and others hear His Words,
by which we are justified.
Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be justified,
and by your words you will be condemned.
*************************************************
Our words as a witness testimony before God
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren,
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all
speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you,
but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God;
but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
****************************************************
Speaking As An Oracle Of God (1 Peter 4:11)
1 Peter 3:
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you,
as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
****************************************************
We must speak by way of experience only for our testimony to be valid
Romans 15:
8 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things
which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed,
to make the Gentiles obedient—
19 in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God,
so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum
I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
****************************************************
Expression of faith found in the Law
Romans 12:8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
