Courage is essential when coming to Christ as it allows us to approach Him openly and without fear of condemnation.
Courage is crucial for believers when coming to Christ because it reflects a boldness in faith despite our inadequacies and sinfulness. In Hebrews 4:16, we are instructed to approach the throne of grace with confidence—this confidence is built on knowing that Christ will receive us. Like Esther, who approached the king with the risk of death, believers must come to God earnestly and courageously, understanding that His throne is a place of mercy, not condemnation. This courage is empowered by the truth of the Gospel, which promises that those who seek God will find Him, and His welcome is unconditional for those who come in faith.
