What is fear? It’s an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous like to cause pain or a threat according to the dictionary. Fear is always starred in humans mind, heart and soul in everyday of our lives. Basically we often fear the unknown, (what if’s question). Surely one can bring a question of where does It come from? I’ll tell you, most religion they spread a word saying it comes from God which is not true. Fear does not come from God; we must remember that God is love and fear it’s out of love and love defeat fear. According to the bible we have two types of fear;
1. Fear of the lord
Having this fear is acknowledging the reverence of God; a wonder of His power and glory, it is also a proper respect of His rage and anger. Briefly it is all about comprehending who He is, which comes through knowing Him and His features. Moreover by knowing Him it also comes with numerous blessings and benefits. It is the beginning of wisdom and leads to good understanding (Psalms 111:10).
2. Spirit of fear
For it is mentioned in 2Timothy 1:7: for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind. However a spirit of fearfulness and nervous does not come from God another version says; for the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives up power, love and self-discipline (NIV).
By trusting in Him we can all overthrow fear. God has the loving purpose for us, hence He has given us a promise that we must not be afraid because He will save us and call us by His name for we are His.
