Paul's boldness is explicitly credited to the work of the Holy Ghost. An example of Paul's boldness in Gospel preaching is seen in his powerful and provocative sermon at the synagogue in Antioch of Psidia. Paul points out that Jesus was the fulfillment of the promises to the house of David, and that Christ is the long-desired Savior. Not only that, but right here, right now, word of this salvation is preached to you! Paul forcefully asserts that the rulers of Israel falsely condemned the innocent Jesus to death, never realizing that the prophets foretold Christ's death in the place of His sinful people, dying for their sins laid upon Him by God! But the third day, God raised up Christ from the grave, vindicating Him before all the world! Paul then declares glad tidings to his listeners, mostly Jews, but some others as well in the synagogue that day, of how the promise of a Savior, made to the fathers, has been fulfilled by Christ being raised from the dead. Paul then exclaims, "be it known that through this Man, the Savior, is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and the justification of all those who believe on Him, from all things from which you cannot be justified by Moses' law! What Paul has described to these people that day was just that very work of God to provide salvation for His people, proven by the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and yet most of Paul's hearers rejected his preaching, and later tried to shut Paul down from ministry in their town. Indeed, the Gentiles caught wind of Paul's Gospel preaching, and desired Paul to preach it to them as well! A week later, almost the entire city was gathered to hear the good news Paul preached.
