Quote to Consider
Herman Hoeksema: “[Confession of faith] means that I confess Him, to be my Lord. This implies that I belong to Him, that I am not my own but His, with body and soul, in life and death, for time and eternity. I profess that He is responsible for me, now and in the day of judgment; that He has the authority, the sole right to rule over me, to demand of me that I shall do His will; and that this lordship of Jesus has become my delight, so that with body and soul, with heart and mind and will and all my desires, personally and in all the different relationships of my life in the midst of the present world, it is my sincere endeavour to do what is pleasing to Him, to think as He would have me think, to do His will, to speak to His glory, to walk in newness and holiness of life, and thus to fight the good fight even unto death, that no one take my crown!”
