Many people believe in Christ, but because of peer pressure or popular opinion they never acknowledge Him. It was the same 2000 yrs ago when John wrote his gospel. “Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out if the synagogue; for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.” (John 12:42,43)
