'Acknowledges' in the Bible

"Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

"But I tell you, the Son of Man will acknowledge before God's angels everyone who acknowledges me before people.

No one who denies the Son has the Father. The person who acknowledges the Son also has the Father.

This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: Every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus the Messiah has become human and remains so is from God.

God abides in the one who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, and he abides in God.
