What does the Bible say about confidence in Christ?

The Bible emphasizes that our confidence must be rooted in Christ alone. In Psalm 4, David expresses this truth by stating, 'Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness.' This highlights the believer's trust not in their own actions or righteousness but in the character of God through Christ. As we grow in grace, we learn to let go of self-reliance, realizing that confidence in ourselves leads only to failure. True strength and assurance come from knowing Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer, the one who sustains us in trials and tribulations.
