The reason to be courageous

Due to the dangerous circumstance in which there may be damage and great loss (Acts 27:9-10),

All hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned (v. 20).

But Apostle Paul kept his courage and told the people who were with him

“I urge you to keep up your courage” (vv. 22, 25). 

It was because Paul believed that God would turn out exactly as he had been told (vv. 24-25).
