Be Bold

 Be Bold

When reading Hebrews 4:16 and Prov 28:1 use this definition of bold.
You will see that nothing in this definition implies being a jerk but it also plainly shows that being a milk toast wimp isn’t apart of the definition either.
1. Daring; courageous; brave; intrepid; fearless; applied to men or other animals; as, bold as a lion.
2. Requiring courage in the execution; executed with spirit or boldness; planned with courage and spirit; as a bold enterprise.
3. Confident; not timorous.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
When we come to the throne in our time of need we are not to come groveling. We come boldly, confidently not because of us but because of our confidence and trust in who The Father is, because of of what Jesus did for us and through power of the Holy Spirit in us.
For us to come any other way would be insulting.
As born again people adopted into God’s family when we are in need of anything and especially forgiveness, we must understand that we can come to the One who loves us and obtain everything we need. Especially forgiveness. Not because we deserve it but because He loves us.
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
We are to walk as lions. Not because of us but because we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. For us to walk timidly is again insulting to what Jesus has done for us. He paid a huge price for us to become part of the family of God. THE Royal family. You were born again into Royalty. Act like it

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
