- For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. The spirit God gives us is not one of timidity or fear but of power, love, and self-discipline. Boldness is a natural expression of this Spirit. When we operate in the power and love of God, fear loses its grip, allowing us to step out in faith with courage.

Boldness, in the biblical sense, is not a personality trait. A typically soft-spoken, introverted, calm person can be bold at a time when a typically driven, outspoken, brash person shrinks back. Boldness is acting, by the power of the Holy Spirit, on an urgent conviction in the face of some threat. That last sentence contains the three ingredients...
In Christ, “we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith” to God our Father (Ephesians 3:12). The truth is there’s no power in heaven or on earth or under the earth that remotely approaches the power of God. He is the only one we need to fear (Luke 12:4–5). And Jesus took upon himself every reason we have to be terrified of God. No...
After sunbathing in Romans 8, we should take an invigorating walk through the book of Acts and watch how Spirit emboldened the early Christians were. Peter and John, once frozen with fear, when filled with the Holy Spirit, were out preaching the gospel for everyone to hear (see Acts 2:14–41). This soon got them arrested — the very thing that had te...
The early Christians knew this. Post-Pentecost they didn’t always feel bold. In fact, in Acts 4, when the disciples came back from the astonished authorities, they told the church of the threats they received. Everyone understood the implication: persecution and possible execution. So, did they flee back into hiding? No, they prayed for boldness: I...
But we should not think every time boldness is required we will feel some heroic swell of confidence. God often gives us Spirit-empowered boldness when, in spite of feeling fear, we step out in faith that the Spirit will provide the measure of boldness we need in that moment. If we look, Acts is full of instances where boldness was given in situati...
And a wonderful thing happens when we act the miracle: others begin to act it, too. Paul described this phenomenon: Paul’s imprisonment for being bold for Christ emboldened other Christians. And we’ve all experienced this in some way. The best way to start a movement of bold witness is to step out in boldness ourselves.
And this is just what our flesh emphatically does not want to do. It resists the Spirit in order to keep us from doing what we want to do. To prayerfully pursue boldness in the power of the Spirit requires dying to our flesh (Romans 8:13). But that’s a death that leads to life! For “to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the ...
By understanding and embodying the biblical meaning of love, we fulfill the greatest commandment and bear witness to the love that God has lavished upon us. May we strive to love as God loves us, with grace, mercy, and compassion.
Jul 20, 2024 · “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” God empowers us with boldness, not fear. This verse reassures us that the Spirit given to us by God instills power, love, and self-discipline, enabling us to live boldly.
Sep 19, 2022 · Boldness, coupled with love and humility (1 Corinthians 13:4–8; 1 Peter 5:6), is like a light in the darkness (Matthew 5:14). When we are convinced that our message is life-giving and eternal, we can speak with boldness, knowing that God will use it to impact our world (Isaiah 55:10–11).
Genuine love is born of faith in the loving promises of God. Paul says that “whatever is not from faith is sin” (Romans 14:23). More positively he says, “Faith works through love” (Galatians 5:6). Or as John puts it, “We know and believe the love God has for us …. We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:16, 19).
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." God gives us power, love, and a sound mind. This is what 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us. It means we don’t have to be scared because God’s Spirit in us is strong and loving.
