THE COURAGE OF CHRIST
What is Biblical Courage?
Original Word: τολμάω

Transliteration: tolmaó
Phonetic Spelling: (tol-mah'-o)
tolmáō (from tolma, "bold courage") – properly, to show daring courage
necessary for a valid risk ("putting it all on the line"); courageously venture
forward by putting fear behind and embracing the fruit that lies ahead for taking
a necessary risk.
COURAGE, n. L., the heart. Bravery; intrepidity; that quality of mind which
enables men to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness, or without fear
or depression of spirits; valor; boldness; resolution. It is a constituent part of
fortitude; but fortitude implies patience to bear continued suffering.

“When
they saw the courage of
Peter and John and realized that
they were unschooled, ordinary
men, they were astonished and
they took note that these men
had been with Jesus. -Acts 4:13
When Christ is formed in us, people see that
we have been with Jesus
CHRIST FORMED IN US
Discuss: If Christ Courage
was completely formed in you
tomorrow morning when
stepped out of bed, what
would you notice different
about your day and your
interactions? (family, wife, kids,
church, co-workers, neighbors,
strangers, etc)
------------------------------Pray: What hinders you from
having Christ courage formed
completely in you?
CAUTION!!! IN CHRIST FORMED IN YOU
As you pray to have Jesus’ courage formed in you, God
will put you in situations that you will need to have
Christ Courage. If there are times that you shrink back,
do not lose heart.
Pray and embrace the next opportunity with determination.
