7 Bible Verses Show the Importance of Having Confidence in God
The dictionary shows us that the word confidence means "faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way." This definition explains the importance of having confidence and being a follower of Jesus Christ. The Bible speaks about how it is important for us to live out our lives confidently trusting in the Lord and living in an effective way.
