Disowning Christ
January 9, 2009
“Whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:33 NIV)
A person may disown Christ actively, by what he does, repudiating the One who died to save him.
Can one also disown Christ passively, by what he does not do? Is it apostasy when we fail to bear witness, to be fruitful, to make disciples? Or is that active disobedience, our refusal to obey a direct command?
