How do we know that the righteous are bold as lions?
Answered in 1 source
The righteous are bold as lions because they are secured in the righteousness of Christ and the assurance of God's love.
The phrase 'the righteous are bold as a lion' in Proverbs 28:1 reflects the confidence that comes from being justified before God. This boldness is not based on self-worth or personal merit, but rather on the imputation of Christ's righteousness. Jeremiah 23:6 reminds us that the Lord is our righteousness. For believers, this means that through faith in Christ, they are assured of their salvation and can approach God with confidence, unshakeable by the trials of life. Romans 8:35-39 emphasizes that nothing can separate the believer from the love of Christ, further amplifying their boldness as they traverse the challenges of their spiritual journey.
