Dear Reader
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus…” (Romans 10:9).
One mark given in Scripture of a true Christian is that he confesses with his mouth the Lord Jesus, and one reason the Lord has in keeping us here is that we should carry the glad tidings of the already accomplished redemption of Christ to every creature. In former days, God’s people went everywhere preaching the word. Now, though all are not evangelists, all are called to confess Christ with the mouth, as well as in life and walk. A Christian is identified with Christ and is looked at in Scripture as having no other interests than Christ’s, knowing Christ not only as his Lord and Savior, but as his resource at all times―his treasure. Oh, how easy it is to speak of Christ and for Christ when He is really our treasure, when the heart is overflowing with His love! Beloved fellow Yong Christians, may we more earnestly than ever confess Christ and tell out the riches of the grace of God to those around.
Yes, it is the Lord’s command that the gospel be carried to “every creature.” So the apostles understood it, and therefore we are told afterwards that they “went forth and preached the word everywhere.” Be assured that if we are living upon Christ, we shall carry about with us “rivers of living water.” Think of these words: “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth in me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37, 38).
May we like our Lord confess the good confession, may we have the grace and the boldness to confess Christ!
