The Bible presents numerous examples and teachings on courage, emphasizing its importance in the believer's walk with God.<br><br><b>Old Testament Examples</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, courage is often demonstrated in the context of battle and leadership. One of the most notable examples is Joshua, who was charged with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. God commands Joshua, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land that I swore to their fathers to give them" (<a href="/joshua/1-6.htm">Joshua 1:6</a>). This divine exhortation underscores the necessity of courage in fulfilling God's promises and purposes.<br><br>Another significant figure is David, who displayed remarkable courage in his encounter with Goliath. Despite the overwhelming odds, David's faith in God empowered him to confront the giant, declaring, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-37.htm">1 Samuel 17:37</a>). David's courage was rooted in his trust in God's deliverance and sovereignty.<br><br><b>New Testament Teachings</b><br><br>In the New Testament, courage is often associated with the proclamation of the Gospel and the endurance of persecution. The apostles exemplified this courage, as seen in the book of Acts. When faced with threats from religious authorities, Peter and John boldly declared, "We cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard" (<a href="/acts/4-20.htm">Acts 4:20</a>). Their courage was fueled by their conviction and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also speaks to the necessity of courage in the Christian life. In his letter to the Corinthians, he writes, "Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong" (<a href="/1_corinthians/16-13.htm">1 Corinthians 16:13</a>). Paul encourages believers to remain steadfast and courageous in their faith, even amidst trials and opposition.<br><br><b>Courage in the Face of Fear</b><br><br>The Bible acknowledges the reality of fear but consistently calls believers to overcome it through faith in God. <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a> offers reassurance: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness" . This promise highlights that true courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of God's strength and support.<br><br><b>The Source of Courage</b><br><br>Christian courage is deeply rooted in the character and promises of God. The psalmist declares, "The LORD is my light and my salvation&#8212;whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life&#8212;whom shall I dread?" (<a href="/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27:1</a>). This confidence in God's protection and guidance is the foundation of biblical courage.<br><br>Furthermore, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit empowers believers to act courageously. Paul reminds Timothy, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (<a href="/2_timothy/1-7.htm">2 Timothy 1:7</a>). The Spirit equips Christians with the necessary strength and resolve to face challenges with courage.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Courage, as depicted in the Bible, is an essential quality for those who follow Christ. It is characterized by a reliance on God's promises, a commitment to His purposes, and a willingness to stand firm in the face of adversity. Through the examples of biblical figures and the teachings of Scripture, believers are called to cultivate and exercise courage in their daily lives.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_chronicles/22-13.htm">1 Chronicles 22:13</a></span><br>Then shall you prosper, if you take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_timothy/1-7.htm">2 Timothy 1:7</a></span><br>For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/philippians/1-28.htm">Philippians 1:28</a></span><br>And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_corinthians/16-13.htm">1 Corinthians 16:13</a></span><br>Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
