This courage is often portrayed as a divine strength, enabling believers to uphold truth and righteousness.<br><br><b>Old Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>Moses and Pharaoh</b>: Moses exemplifies courage when he confronts Pharaoh, demanding the release of the Israelites. Despite Pharaoh's hardened heart and the potential danger, Moses remains steadfast. In <a href="/exodus/7-2.htm">Exodus 7:2</a>, God commands Moses, "You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land."<br><br>2. <b>Daniel in the Lions' Den</b>: Daniel's unwavering faith is tested when he is thrown into the lions' den for praying to God despite King Darius's decree. His courage in maintaining his devotion is rewarded by divine protection. <a href="/daniel/6-23.htm">Daniel 6:23</a> states, "When Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God."<br><br>3. <b>Esther's Boldness</b>: Queen Esther displays courage by approaching King Xerxes uninvited, risking her life to save her people. Her famous words in <a href="/esther/4-16.htm">Esther 4:16</a>, "If I perish, I perish," reflect her resolve to act despite the potential consequences.<br><br><b>New Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>Jesus Before Pilate</b>: Jesus demonstrates ultimate courage during His trial before Pontius Pilate. Despite knowing the outcome, He remains composed and truthful. In <a href="/john/18-37.htm">John 18:37</a>, Jesus declares, "For this reason I was born and have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice."<br><br>2. <b>Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin</b>: In <a href="/bsb/acts/4.htm">Acts 4</a>, Peter and John are brought before the Sanhedrin for preaching about Jesus. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter boldly proclaims in <a href="/acts/4-12.htm">Acts 4:12</a>, "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."<br><br>3. <b>Paul's Defense</b>: The Apostle Paul frequently faced questioning and persecution. In <a href="/bsb/acts/26.htm">Acts 26</a>, he defends his faith before King Agrippa, articulating his conversion and mission with clarity and courage. <a href="/acts/26-29.htm">Acts 26:29</a> records Paul's heartfelt wish, "I pray to God that whether in a short or long time, not only you but all who hear me this day may become as I am, except for these chains."<br><br><b>Theological Insights</b><br><br>Courage in the face of questioning is not merely human bravery but is often depicted as a result of divine empowerment. Believers are encouraged to rely on God's strength, as seen in <a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."<br><br>The New Testament further emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in granting believers the courage to witness and endure trials. In <a href="/2_timothy/1-7.htm">2 Timothy 1:7</a>, Paul reminds Timothy, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>Believers today are called to exhibit courage in the face of questioning by standing firm in their faith and convictions. This involves trusting in God's promises, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and being prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within them, as instructed in <a href="/1_peter/3-15.htm">1 Peter 3:15</a>, "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that you have."</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div
