The Bible teaches that no one can truly confess Jesus as Lord except by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3).
In 1 Corinthians 12:3, Paul asserts that no one can genuinely declare Jesus as Lord without the influence of the Holy Spirit. This emphasizes that acknowledging Jesus as Lord is not merely a verbal confession, but a profound recognition of His sovereign authority and divinity, granted through divine revelation. Such understanding is a gift from God, distinguishing true believers from those who merely profess faith without genuine conviction or transformation.
