Jesus warned of the perils of courage and faith, cautioning against recklessness and presumption, while advocating for a balance of prudence, discretion, originality, sympathy, piety, and reverence devoid of fear and superstition. [1] Presumption upon the Father's love leads to self-destructive and sinful practices, for God is not a lax or indulgent parent who condones recklessness. [2] Jesus’ faith wholly free of presumption guided every decision he made in his life. [3] Peter's presumption caused trouble for himself and his friends, but with guidance and experience, he learned to think before he spoke. [4] His courage was born of faith, not the recklessness of blind presumption. [5]
