assurance, boldly, (without) care(- less), confidence, hope, safe(-ly, -ty), secure, surely

“Confidence” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

The trust and boldness that faith in God and His word gives. “In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence”; “The Lord shall be thy confidence” (Prov. 3:26²⁶For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. (Proverbs 3:26); Prov. 14:26²⁶In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. (Proverbs 14:26)). “We are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our ‘assurance’ firm unto the end” (Heb. 3:14¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; (Hebrews 3:14)). In contrast to this the “fearful” are classed with the “unbelieving” (Rev. 21:8⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)).

“Assurance” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

This word has in the Old Testament a different application from that which it has in the New Testament In the former it is “confidence or trust,” and agrees with the hopes of God’s earthly people in connection with the security in which Israel will dwell when restored to their land, when all their enemies shall have been put down by divine power: the effect of righteousness will be “quietness and assurance forever,” (Isa. 32:17¹⁷And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. (Isaiah 32:17)): whereas in their disobedience they should fear day and night and have no assurance of their life (Deut. 28:66⁶⁶And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: (Deuteronomy 28:66)).

In the New Testament the Greek word πληροφορἰα implies “full assurance” and refers to eternal salvation. The gospel reaches a soul in power, and in the Holy Ghost and in “much full assurance” (1 Thess. 1:5⁵For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. (1 Thessalonians 1:5)). We also meet with:

1. the full assurance of faith (Heb. 10:22²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22)); the reception of God’s testimony respecting the work of Christ and the glory He now enjoys:

2. the full assurance of hope (Heb. 6:11¹¹And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: (Hebrews 6:11)), issuing in continued diligence of the saints in their work and labor of love: and

3. the full assurance of understanding, (Col. 2:2²That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (Colossians 2:2)), for full knowledge in the mystery of God.
