Christians quotes about boldness

“Prayer in private results in boldness in public.” Edwin Louis Cole

“One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic Church was the spirit of boldness.”  A. B. Simpson

“There is a false boldness for Christ that only comes from pride. A man may rashly expose himself to the world’s dislike and even deliberately provoke its displeasure, and yet do so out of pride… True boldness for Christ transcends all; it is indifferent to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.” Jonathan Edwards

“When we find a man meditating on the words of God, my friends, that man is full of boldness and is successful.”  Dwight L. Moody

“A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.” William Gurnall

“The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears… This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.” Sinclair Ferguson

“There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve him, boldness to share him, and contentment in him.” J.I. Packer
