If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’

And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
