While the specific word "dared" may not frequently appear in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept is illustrated through various narratives and characters who exhibit daring faith or actions.<br><br><b>Biblical Examples of Daring Acts:</b><br><br>1. <b>David and Goliath</b>: One of the most iconic examples of daring faith is the young shepherd David confronting the Philistine giant Goliath. Despite the fear and hesitation of the Israelite army, David dared to face Goliath, trusting in the Lord's deliverance. In <a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45-47</a> , David declares, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."<br><br>2. <b>Esther's Boldness</b>: Queen Esther dared to approach King Xerxes without being summoned, an act punishable by death, to plead for the lives of her people. Her courage is captured in <a href="/esther/4-16.htm">Esther 4:16</a> , where she instructs Mordecai, "Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."<br><br>3. <b>Peter Walking on Water</b>: In the New Testament, Peter dared to step out of the boat and walk on water towards Jesus. This act of faith, though momentarily faltering, is a testament to Peter's willingness to trust in Jesus' power. <a href="/matthew/14-29.htm">Matthew 14:29</a> records Jesus' invitation, "Come," and Peter's response as he "got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus."<br><br>4. <b>The Apostles' Bold Proclamation</b>: After the resurrection of Jesus, the apostles dared to preach the gospel despite threats and persecution. <a href="/acts/4-13.htm">Acts 4:13</a> notes the boldness of Peter and John: "When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus."<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The concept of daring in the Bible often aligns with a deep trust in God's promises and power. It reflects a willingness to act in faith, even when circumstances seem insurmountable or when obedience to God conflicts with human authority. Such acts of daring are not reckless but are grounded in a conviction of God's sovereignty and faithfulness.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Lessons:</b><br><br>From a moral and ethical standpoint, the Bible encourages believers to exhibit courage in their faith journey. This includes standing firm in the face of opposition, taking risks for the sake of righteousness, and trusting in God's provision and protection. The examples of biblical figures who dared to act in faith serve as inspiration for Christians to live boldly for the glory of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
