No Fears

The Bible tells us that perfect love casts out fear and that the Holy Spirit has poured the love of God into our hearts. Because of Jesus, I do not have to fear what man can do to me because God has accepted me and I will go to Heaven when I die. Rest. Peace. Safety. This is far beyond the hell that I deserve.

Perhaps I would fear more if Heaven was not waiting. Perhaps I would fear more if God was not crazy in love with me. Perhaps I would fear more if God was not in control of every aspect of my life (as R.C. Sproul says, "there are no rouge atoms in the universe.") Perhaps I would fear more if God was dealing with me according to my sins. Perhaps I would fear more if the wounds on my Savior did not continually cry out to the Father for me. Perhaps I would fear more if God was different, but He never changes. He will always be good, kind, and powerful beyond my wildest imagination. Perhaps I would fear more if He was only my judge and not my Father. Perhaps I would fear more if Jesus' blood did not run down the cross and cover me.

What am I saying? No fears!

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us! God always "gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!"
