(Col. 3:17–4:1; Luke 9, 44–50) “Whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me” (Luke 9:48), said the Lord: and He who sent Him is God, therefore, whoever confesses the Lord confesses God, and whoever does not confess Him does not confess God. You will say: I confess Christ as a great, wise, universal teacher. No, confess Him as He Himself says about Himself, that “He and the Father are one” (John 10:30), one person of the Divine nature, separate, but of equal honor and co-throne. He who does not confess in this way, no matter how much he magnifies the Lord, still does not confess Him, and without being a confessor of Him, he does not confess the Father, he does not confess God. Therefore, no matter how much you may show yourself to be a reader of God, you are not a reader of God if you do not confess the Lord Jesus Christ as the Only Begotten Son of God, who became incarnate for our sake and saved us by His death on the cross. Not everyone knows what God to confess, just to confess it: those who worshiped the sun and stars, or imaginary creatures, are not called worshipers of God, because they did not believe that God was God. Likewise, the one who does not confess the Lord is not a reader of God, because he confesses the wrong God, who is the true God. The true God does not exist without the co-eternal and co-originating Son. Therefore, if you do not confess the Son, you do not confess the true God. What is the price of your confession - only God will judge, but since God is revealed to us by the true God, then apart from this revelation it is impossible to have the true God.
