Summary

When we recognize that Christ has completed the work of salvation and that Satan has been defeated, our appropriate response is praise, as exemplified by Psalm 106:12. True belief in God's finished work is proven by thankfulness and praise; therefore, we must express our faith through our words. However, this confession must be limited to what is actually promised in Scripture, rejecting teachings that require confessing material desires or lying about our current condition.
