Proverbs 28:1 says that the righteous are as bold as a lion, and in Psalm 138:3, whose heading attributes it to David, the speaker says that on the day he called, God answered him and emboldened him. In Acts 4:13 the rulers and elders in Jerusalem see the boldness of Peter and John. In Acts 4:29 the believers pray to speak God's word with complete boldness, and Acts 4:31 tells how, after they had prayed, they spoke the word of God boldly.

Several verses are about Paul. Acts 28:31, the last verse of Acts, says that he proclaimed the kingdom of God boldly and freely. In 2 Corinthians 3:12 and Philemon 1:8 he writes of being bold, and in Philippians 1:20 he hopes for complete boldness, so that Christ will be exalted in his body, whether by life or by death. In Ephesians 6:19, a letter in the name of Paul, the writer asks for prayer to make known the mystery of the gospel boldly.

Other verses speak of confidence before God: in approaching the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), in entering the Most Holy Place (Hebrews 10:19–25), in entering God's presence (Ephesians 3:12) and in asking according to His will (1 John 5:14). Hebrews 13:6 says, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” In Joshua 1:9 the LORD tells Joshua to be strong and courageous, and in 2 Timothy 1:6–7 the writer reminds Timothy that God has not given them a spirit of fear.

19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. 25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
