Confession Is a Lifestyle
Commentators explain that confessing Christ isn't just a one-time prayer or statement. It's a comprehensive, public acknowledgment of Jesus in every area of life—through church involvement, conversation, and daily conduct. As Albert Barnes notes, it's about exhibiting your faith 'in every circumstance of life and before all men.' It is the consistent 'tenor of your life' that matters.
