Skip to Scriptures about Confidence
In the Bible, confidence is intricately linked with trust in God and the assurance that stems from a life anchored in faith. Hebrews 10:35 urges believers not to abandon their confidence, which promises a great reward, signifying the correlation between faith and the anticipated blessings of God.
Philippians 1:6 beautifully captures the essence of this divine confidence, highlighting that God, who commenced a good work in individuals, will faithfully see it through. Proverbs 3:26 positions the Lord as the source of this confidence, promising protection and guidance.
This idea is echoed in Hebrews 4:16, which invites believers to approach the throne of grace with confidence, assuring them of God’s mercy and support. In worldly matters and moments of vulnerability, Psalm 27:3 portrays a steadfast heart, unwavering even in the face of adversities, drawing strength and courage solely from the Lord.
The New Testament, through verses like Ephesians 3:12, accentuates that our confidence isn’t in our abilities or righteousness but firmly rooted in faith in Jesus Christ. In the biblical context, true confidence isn’t self-generated but is a reflection of a profound trust in God’s sovereignty, promises, and His unwavering love for humanity.
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.”
