Boldness
In the Bible, boldness often refers to a confident and fearless attitude, particularly in the context of proclaiming faith or standing up for God's truth. It is frequently associated with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, which enables believers to speak and act courageously. For instance, in Acts 4:29-31, the early Christians prayed for boldness to speak God's word, and after their prayer, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness. This demonstrates that boldness is not merely a personal trait but a divine enablement to witness and testify to one's faith.Moreover, boldness is linked to a believer's relationship with God. In Hebrews 4:16, believers are encouraged to approach the throne of grace with confidence (or boldness) to receive mercy and find grace in times of need. This assurance of access to God cultivates a boldness in believers to live out their faith without fear. Similarly, Proverbs 28:1 states that "the righteous are as bold as a lion," suggesting that moral integrity and a right standing with God contribute to a believer's boldness in confronting challenges and adversaries. Overall, biblical boldness is a powerful expression of faith rooted in trust in God and His promises.

By Carter Conlon2.5K54:34BoldnessREV 1:1In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes that the responsibility of preaching the word of God is not limited to high-profile ministers, but extends to every believer in their daily lives.

The sermon concludes with the reminder that as genuine Christians, we are blessed if we read, hear, and keep the words of prophecy written in the Bible.
