Spiritual Foundations

Fear keeps us from becoming all God intends for you.

It can ruin your life. Anxiety makes us sick.

Sometimes the solution for that is medical.

But often we are trying to use a medical solution to a spiritual problem.

There are 365 “fear not” commands in the Bible. That’s one for every day of the year.

Angels, and the post-resurrection Christ, always said, “Fear not!”

The cure for fear? The opposite of fear is not courage. It’s love.

The Bible says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear …” (1 John [4:18] NIV).

God is love, and the more you fill your life with God, the less fear you are going to have.
