'Confesses' in the Bible

The one who conceals his sinswill not prosper,but whoever confesses and renounces themwill find mercy.

“Therefore, the one who confesses and acknowledges Me before men [as Lord and Savior, affirming a state of oneness with Me], that one I will also confess and acknowledge before My Father who is in heaven.

“And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;

One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.

However, God's solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil."

No one who denies the Son can have the Father; he who confesses the Son has the Father as well.

This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God—God remains in him and he in God.
