Eric Johnson, senior pastor at Bethel Church, Redding CA in the introduction to his new book Christ In You, says:
I believe that God’s intended design called for us to be the boldest, most confident people on the planet— the kind of people who are fully aware of who they are and of whom they serve. Out of that awareness is birthed in us a divine compassion to serve the human race with the cause of Christ. Something is not right when “children” of God are walking in the opposite of that boldness, in shame and timidity. The death and resurrection of Jesus were intended to set us free from the death inherent in sin and were also the keys to our living in the abundance of the King in every area of life.
