The idea of meekness is power under control. So it's not weakness, and it does include boldness. A meek person has been well trained; he or she is not easily frightened or apt to run away.

Paul puts the message of justification so prominently here in his writing to the Romans because he viewed justification as a message to change the entire world. We can't just say a sinner's prayer and then ignore God afterwards.
