The One Year Bible Blog asks:

Comments from you & Question of the Day - We read about the boldness of Peter and John in Acts chapter 4 today. Do you think we are called to be bold in our faith? Why? What are some ways that we should be bold in our faith? What are some ways in which you are bold in your faith today? What are some ways you want to become bolder in your faith?

Everywhere in Scripture where a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, boldness - and no other alternative - follows.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

II Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

We are called to be bold in - and through - our faith because the Holy Spirit is bold; truth is bold. Therefore, that same boldness is borne in us through the working of that same Spirit, to proclaim that same truth.
