Denial Is More Than Words
Commentators agree that denying Christ is not limited to a verbal renunciation. It also includes a failure to confess Him, being ashamed of His teachings, or living a life that practically ignores Him. As Charles Spurgeon notes, "not to confess Christ is practically to deny him." This calls for a deep self-examination of our entire life's posture toward Jesus.
