"If with your mouth you confess Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. . . . For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Philippians 2:11 "and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." 1 Corinthians 15:3-7
The next verse makes clear that the lord being referenced here is the lord of the last judgment. [4] It was also a common address for a teacher, and Harrington believes the meaning of this verse is that one needs to practice the teachings of Jesus and not just speak them. [ 5 ]
7. O For a thousand tongues to sing My dear Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace! 8. My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the world abroad The honors of Thy name. 9. Jesus! the Name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
Here we have the reason for the condemnation in the previous verse, i.e. pride and haughtiness, since Jesus lauds the "little children". Christ uses the word for confess (Ἐξομολογοῦμαί) which is used regularly in the psalms, e.g. "I will confess to Thee with my whole heart", and, "Confess to the Lord, for He is good."
Tolstoy also understood this verse as banning all oaths, and it led him to support the abolition of all courts as a result. [3] The reference to Heaven as the Throne of God comes from Isaiah 66:1. Hill notes that while heaven in Matthew is often used as a periphrasis for God's name it is quite clearly not so used in this verse. [4]
The verse is paralleled in Mark 9:50; [5] Luke 14:34–35 also has a version of this text similar to the one in Mark. [6] There are a wide number of references to salt in the Old Testament. Leviticus 2:13, [7] Numbers 18:19, [8] and 2 Chronicles 13:5 [9] all present salt as a sign of God's covenant.
Jesus quotes Isaiah 66:1 in the previous verse to tell his followers not to swear by Heaven. In this verse he quotes the second half of Isaiah 66:1 to tell his followers not to swear by the earth. [1] Gundry notes that through the Gospel the author of Matthew tends to pair heaven and earth. The reference to Jerusalem is to Psalm 48:2.
Jesus has also been called such by demons, Satan, himself, and his disciples. This verse is important as it is the first time any person outside Jesus' own circle refers to him as such. [4] There are alternate understandings of this verse, beyond the conversion of the gentiles to Christianity.
