Confidence In Christ

To have confidence is to have a firm trust and belief that you can rely on someone or something. I think of the Brooklyn Bridge when it first opened in 1884. People weren’t confident it was safe. PT Barnum marched 21 elephants across it to prove to people it was safe. He had confidence and gave confidence to other people by his actions. The same holds true for us. How confident are you in God? Are you standing on the sideline afraid to trust or are you out there marching along with His promises? How you approach and trust in God affects others. It’s time we lived by the old adage, “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” Have confidence in God today in who He is, what He said and how you approach Him.

Here are some Bible verses on confidence:

1. This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.

1 John 5:14 AMP

2. So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6 NLT

3. Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power].

Romans 5:2 AMP

4. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.

Psalms 27:14 AMP

5. Let us have confidence, then, and approach God’s throne, where there is grace. There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us just when we need it.

Hebrews 4:16 GNT
