Luke 12:8-9 (NKJV)
8 �Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Reflections:
Today�s verse is contrasting those who step up to the plate and confess Christ openly, with those that are �secret Christians�. I�ve personally witnessed to a person recently who said, �Yes, I�m born again, but I don�t want anyone to know; please don�t tell anybody.�
Isn�t this denying Christ? Isn�t this what our verse is warning us against today? I know, for myself, I want Jesus to stand up on my behalf before the angels, and not to deny me before them. That would be awful!
On the other hand, I don�t think God wants us to go around wearing a sign saying �Repent or go to Hell� on our front and back sides, (if He does He�s going to have to be very clear about it) but I do think, at a minimum, He wants us to always be ready to give a person the reason for our faith (1 Pet 3:15). When it�s time to be bold God wants us to speak out.
We�ll know when to do what as the Holy Spirit leads us. When God really speaks to us there really is no question as to whether it�s him or not. He speaks very clearly within, if we�ll just be open to hear and to be led �
