Confidence In Christ

1 John 2:28 NKJV

28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Psalm 23 NKJV

A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

David probably penned this Psalm near the end of his life.

David relates God as a Shepherd

I shall not want

He makes me to lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside still waters

He restores my soul

He leads me in paths of righteousness for His names sake.

Yea, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

I will not fear.

Because the Lord is with me.

His rod and staff comfort me.

He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies.

He anoints my head with oil.

My cup runs over.

Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

I will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER.

Hebrews 10:35–39 NKJV

35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

1 John 5:14 NKJV

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
