When it comes to following Jesus, we need power beyond ourselves. When we choose to accept the free gift of salvation In Jesus to make him king of our life, we receive the Holy Spirit...our Helper. We then have the power to do extraordinary things - we can truly forgive others, we can live in the way God calls is, and we can be bold in sharing our faith with others. 

We need boldness to follow Jesus well, talk to our friends about Jesus, tell the truth when it's easier to lie, stand up for the classmate that everyone is picking on, and put God at the center of our lives.
