Psalm 106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth all his praise?
The believer’s response to God’s mighty acts of salvation is not only that we believe in the heart that God raised Him from the dead but also confess with the mouth that Jesus is Lord [Romans 10:9-10]. Our response to God’s great salvation in Christ is so overwhelmingly wonderful that we cannot keep it to ourselves. We are compelled to want to tell the world. We do all we can in word and deed to support the preaching of the Gospel to all Creation. And we are not ashamed of Jesus. Nor do we act as secret Christians.
We go to church to show forth His praise and tell God and the world how great and good He is. In our daily words and interactions with people we are bold to utter the Gospel of Christ whenever and however we can. We readily admit and confess that we are sinners who make mistakes, while at the same time we are “being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you [1 Peter 3:15].”
God gave us a mouth to use it to praise God, bless others, and witness to Him. We confess our misuse of the tongue and confess Jesus’ forgiveness and life.
