John 19:11

You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline speaks to the boldness and strength believers receive through the Holy Spirit. Unlike fear, which paralyzes and discourages, the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to live with courage, strength, and love. The verse emphasizes that the Spirit, given to believers at the moment of salvation, does not foster timidity but rather emboldens them to fulfill God’s calling. Power is provided for believers to overcome obstacles and live victorious lives; love compels them to act selflessly in service to others; and self-discipline enables them to remain focused on their spiritual goals. The Holy Spirit equips believers to bear fruit and fulfill their purpose with a spirit of confidence and grace. This verse challenges Christians to walk in the boldness and strength of the Spirit, resisting the temptation to shrink back in fear but instead moving forward with faith. The Spirit’s presence gives Christians the ability to face challenges with courage, to love others as Christ loves, and to live with integrity and discipline in a world that often encourages compromise.
