No Apologies for Belonging to the Lord

IllustrationAnalogy★★

GOD wants to be shown off among His people. He wants to be
revealed among His people. He doesn’t want apologies. I mean,
any man who would apologize that his wife is by his side, is a
fool. Any woman who would apologize that her husband is by
her side is a fool. And any Christian who apologizes for
belonging to the Lord Jesus Christ is a fool!

— Tony Evans

The point

Just as it would be foolish to apologize for a beloved spouse's presence, it is foolish for a Christian to ever apologize for belonging to the Lord Jesus Christ.
