"Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who made us competent to be ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." -II Corinthians 3:4-6 (ESV)
There are different types of people. Some are full of confidence and ready to take on the world. Others may be more reluctant to step out on their own, lacking confidence. When searching for confidence, we may look within ourselves or we may look to others for support and encouragement. For our confidence, we should not rely on ourselves, but we should look to God!
We can have confidence through Jesus Christ. It is through Him that we can be redeemed and made competent and confident. The confidence that we have in God through Jesus Christ is not just for the here and now. This confidence can sustain us through what we are facing now and help us live for eternity. With our confidence, we know that we have eternal life and we can share the Spirit and the life giving new covenant that is available through Jesus Christ.
Have confidence through Jesus Christ and embrace the life giving new covenant that He provides!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your Son and for the confidence I can have through Him. Help me to share my confidence so others can find eternal life through Jesus, too. Through Him I pray, amen.
