The veil is not totally removed as long as our commitment is not total. We do not unashamedly hope as long as self-evaluation of our lives questions concerning our relationship with Christ. This is not an activity matter, what do you do, but is a heart matter, what do you think. This boldness comes from hope. Perhaps one explanation of a decreased evangelism is that we are less certain of the message of Scripture than in a previous time.
Hope generates boldness.
Clarity of vision and message emboldens. We see the possible. We urge upon all the salvation which is only in Christ. We are uncertain about God's attitude toward disobedience among those who claim Christianity but practice it through subjective truth. Yes, I know that is what the Bible says, but one no longer has to follow the Bible.
