INSTANCES WHICH CAN LEAD TO A CHRISTIAN’S DENIAL OF CHRIST AND HIS/HER NEIGHBOR
Peter denied Jesus because he was afraid that if he spoke the truth he might be killed, and he was not prepared to die at that time. In the same way, many of us deny Jesus and our neighbours because if we speak the truth we might be punished or lose certain privileges. Some of the conditions that would make a Christian deny Christ and one’s neighbour are:
- Failure to speak the truth for fear of punishment.
- Telling lies to escape punishment or get some favours.
- Cheating during weekly continuous assessment tests or exams.
- Swearing in the name of God to tell the truth and then proceed to tell lies.
- Refusing to stand up for Jesus by doing what is evil.
- Failure to defend Christianity when attacked by non-Christians.
- Refusal to suffer persecution for the sake of righteousness.
