A lion’s courage

The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are bold as a lion, Prov 28.1, ESV.

As God’s righteous saints, let us be bold and courageous:

1. When it comes to prayer, 1 Chr 17.25; Heb 4.14-16.
2. When it comes to evangelism, Acts 9.27; 23.11; 28.31; Eph 6.19-20; Phil 1.14; 1 Thes 2.2.
3. When it comes to the truth of the gospel, Mic 3.8; 1 Cor 16.13; Gal 2.5, 14; Phil 1.15-18.
   • About Jesus as the only Way, Jn 14.6; Acts 4.12.
   • About the Bible as God’s Word, 2 Tim 3.16-17; 2 Pet 1.20-21.
   • About eternal salvation as the church’s work, Rom 6.22-23; 1 Pet 1.9; Heb 5.9; 9.12, 15; 1 Jn 5.11.
