“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God” – Luke 12:8-9 . “The Lord therefore, is not convinced by the inner faith alone; but seeks from us the manifest confession; exhorting us toward trust and great love. And as that will be of benefit for all, He says: “Whoever confesses Me confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God”.” – St. John Chrysostom
