Can we be sure of God? Do we trust his purposes and promises?

Biblical confidence does not mean that we will never shed tears or have doubts. It certainly does not mean that we will grow in popularity or assertiveness. But it does mean that we can trust God's character and his Word.

Trusted Bible teachers Alistair Begg, Steve Brady, Raymond Brown, Andrew Dow, Jonathan Lamb, Alex Motyer, Hugh Palmer, Vaughan Roberts, and Keith Weston unpack this theme. See that God is who he says he is, and that what he says, he means, even on our darkest days. So, even when we suffer, or our prayers appear unanswered, or it feels like God is not in control, we can still trust him. Our confidence is rock solid, whatever life throws at us.

Biblical confidence is not based on our feelings or circumstances but on the truth of God's Word. It is a confident trust in the character and promises of God, even when we cannot see him or understand his ways. It is a belief that God is good, just, and loving, and that he has a plan and purpose for our lives.

Biblical confidence is not a blind faith that ignores the challenges and difficulties of life. It is a faith that acknowledges that we live in a fallen world and that we will face trials and tribulations. But it is also a faith that believes that God is greater than our struggles and that he will provide us with the strength and courage to overcome them.

Biblical confidence is not a self-centered belief that seeks to fulfill our own desires and ambitions. It is a faith that seeks to honor and serve God and to live for his glory. It is a faith that recognizes that we are not in control of our lives but that God is in control and that he has a plan for our lives that is greater than we could ever imagine.

Biblical confidence is not a passive belief that waits for God to do something. It is a faith that actively seeks to follow God's will and to live according to his Word. It is a faith that is willing to submit to God's authority and to trust him with our lives.

Biblical confidence is not a perfect faith that never fails. It is a faith that acknowledges that we are flawed and that we will make mistakes. But it is also a faith that believes that God is forgiving and that he will forgive us when we confess our sins and turn to him.

In conclusion, biblical confidence is a vital aspect of our faith that allows us to trust God in all circumstances, even when we cannot see him or understand his ways. It is a confidence that is based on the truth of God's Word, the character of God, and the promises of God. It is a faith that acknowledges that we live in a fallen world but that we can still trust God to be good, just, and loving. It is a faith that seeks to honor and serve God and to live for his glory. And it is a faith that is willing to actively seek to follow God's will and to live according to his Word.
