Are you ruled by fear?

 

Are you ruled by fear? Fear is a powerful thing, and living in fear is debilitating. 

Everything feels hard. Our lives become small. We lose relationships, and we struggle to have the boldness to take risks. 

The truth is that the enemy of our souls loves fear. Jesus offers us something else. By the power and presence of His Holy Spirit, He calls us and offers us an option—a beautiful option—a life of faith. 

Faith is the opposite of fear. When we know and believe we are loved by Almighty God, our fear melts away. 

1 John says it this way, there is no fear in love, that perfect love casts out fear. 

Always remember, there is hope with God.


“Faith is the opposite of fear. When we know and believe we are loved by Almighty God, our fear melts away.”


1 John 4:18

 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
