Confession and Blasphemy

Luke 12:8-10 
8 “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.  10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

If we are His, we admit it by telling others; if we deny Jesus, we face that before God.  If we say God's work is not by His work and Spirit, we slander God in His work as these did by not only saying evil against Jesus, but by the power and authority of God in the man.  Even after being delivered and made new, we must give God the credit - honor and glory for His work in Christ and in us.  But we must also test what is said to be His Spirit and discern what is man in disguise.
