'Acknowledges' in the Bible

"Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.

For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.

for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges."

No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father.

The test by which you may recognize the Spirit of God is that every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come as man is from God,

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God--God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.
