Have Bold Faith

Are you a person of bold faith? God wants you to be bold in your faith toward him. Boldness is certainly not arrogance nor pride. It is confidence, assurance, and certainty. A bold faith has no doubt. With such faith God is pleased.

Bold faith walks with God. It prays confidently. Bold faith ministers to others with assurance. It's a faith that simply will not be denied. Genuine faith in God and his Son Jesus is bold.

How can you have bold faith? It's not based upon what you do, but what Jesus has done for you at the cross. It's based upon the shed blood of Jesus. Bold faith is not self-confidence. To the contrary, it's confidence in Christ alone. Have bold faith in Christ.

"Therefore brethren, having boldness to enter
the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way . . ."
Hebrews 10:19

"Christ Jesus our Lord,
in whom we have boldness
and access with confidence
through faith in Him."
Ephesians 3:11-12
