What does it mean to have confidence without presumption?

Answered in 1 source

Confidence without presumption means trusting in God's Word rather than our understanding or desires.

Having confidence without presumption involves a reliance on God’s promises as found in His Word rather than speculation about what He might do. The sermon elaborates that while God has the power to intervene in our lives, claiming to know exactly how He will act generates presumption instead of trust. This distinction is vital for a believer's assurance; true confidence is rooted in the reality of God's commitments to His people, ensuring that we do not overstep into presumptive assertions that could undermine our faith. As seen in God’s promises of salvation and grace, believers can rest assured that their ultimate destiny is secure through the work of Christ.
