So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:32 
Let me make sure I’ve got this right:
If I confess in front of other people that I believe in Jesus, Jesus will stand up for me, in front of God. Some fantastic trade-off for us! We’re blessed.
Could God have gone any more out of his way to let us know we’re loved? Death, perhaps? What an ultimate bargain for us. What an ultimate cost to him.
