Christ centered confidence



When we trust Jesus, we have spiritual growth, personal achievement, peace and influence.

How to go about doing it ?

When we rely consistently on God, we will respond to difficult situations by seeking HIM for guidance and strength. As a result, we will experience the Holy Spirit’s presence, provision and power. With this comes
spiritual growth.
We become more capable to accomplish far greater than imaginable
We show a depth of patience and endurance
We may receive opportunities for leadership position
We may get satisfaction, pleasure and success in doing an unfamiliar task
We experience peace
We inspire others as they watch us achieve in unexpected ways, grow spiritually or display inner peace.


2 Corinthians 3:1-6
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again?
Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant— not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
