In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Ephesians 3:12 (NKJV)
Confidence in the Lord is faith in Him. It’s a result of knowing Him and it comes from hearing His Word. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.It’s the Word of God that builds us up, makes us bold and confident.The Word reveals who Christ is to us and in us, and what He has done for us. This builds His confidence and boldness in us.The Word reveals to us who we really are, what we have, and what we can do in Christ. This is what makes us confident and bold in Him.It’s through the Word that we know we are righteous. We are righteous in Christ –See 2Corinthians 5:21.He is our Righteousness.-See 1 Corinthians 1:30.When we know we are righteous not because of what we do or how we behave but because we are joined with Christ, the result is we are confident and bold for now we draw from and depend on Him for everything.Confidence in the Lord is a result of knowing that He Himself is our Righteousness. We are righteous in Him, we stand right with Him, and in Him.Isaiah 32:17 (NLT) And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.Know Christ from His Word. Know who He is to and in you, what He has done for you. Know who you’re in Christ, what you have and what you can do in Him. That’s how you get and live confident in the Lord.
