We Are Confident

• Paul
• Death

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

• Assurance

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

• Assurance

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
