What does the Bible say about the confidence of faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that the confidence of faith is rooted in a true belief in God, who is sovereign and gracious.

The confidence of faith is articulated in Psalm 123, where the psalmist lifts his eyes to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and mercy. This confidence is not presumption; it is a deep trust in God's character as sovereign and gracious, recognizing that without faith, it is impossible to please Him. The psalmist encapsulates this truth when he expresses the people's dependence on God's mercy, 'Our eyes wait upon the Lord our God until that He have mercy upon us.' Thus, true faith involves looking to God with an earnest heart, believing in His ability to act on our behalf.
