II. The Theological Virtues
1816
The disciple of Christ must not only keep the faith and live on it, but also
profess it, confidently bear witness to it, and spread it: “All however
must be prepared to confess Christ before men and to follow him along the way
of the Cross, amidst the persecutions which the Church never
lacks.”82 Service of and witness to the faith are necessary for
salvation: “So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will
acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before
men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”83
