We are to manifest a bold and sincere confidence in the Gospel we proclaim, because we have met Jesus and are being transformed into His likeness.

One’s eyes can go to difference words here:

1) Most will go to the word WE. It is something we do under our own power. We are in control Or if I do “such and such”, I am ok.

2) Or the eyes can go to Jesus. Who is doing the transforming? NONE of that transforming is our doing.

Also, where did the boldness come from? It didn’t come from men. It would be wise for ALL of us to read our Bibles more. Only then can the Spirit use us.
