Open Profession of Christ
Scripture
KJV
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
ESV
So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:32
Poem
Should I, to gain the world's applause,
Or to escape its harmless frown,
Refuse to countenance thy cause,
And make thy people's lot my own,
What shame would fill me in that day,
When thou thy glory shalt display!
