Godfidence - knowing we are declared righteous by God (undeservedly), and being assured that we will inherit eternal life. Instead of trying to be confident in ourselves, why not pursue this virtue? It’s something no one can ever diminish, or take away. And it’s something we can always draw on to renew our hope. God can be trusted.
4 But–“When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, 5 He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of His grace He declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.” 8 This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.
