The 51 Most powerful Positive Bible Verses

By David Small •  Updated: 05/28/21 •  12 min read

Positive bible verses will encourage you to think positively. To be positive is to be optimistic – an attitude towards humans that considers them liable to a positive global solution, which results in an active and confident general position.

On the other hand, thinking negatively is very similar to pessimism, which leads the individual to face everything on the negative side, to expect everything worse.

God accompanies the good Christian at all times. That is why he is never alone and must always be positive. The obstacles of life must be overcome by placing trust in God and taking care not to fall into the temptation of sin.

Below are some positive bible verses that encourage positive thinking.
