Have No Fear!

How does one actually reach the stage of having no fear? Is it possible in this lifetime to attain that level? I have always wondered about this as so many people are afraid of their own shadows when they are alone.

We are fearful of death, accidents, snatch thieves, robbers, evil spirits, satan, the list goes on. As believers, should we be fearful?

Matt 8::26 "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" asked Jesus.

Matt 14:29–31 And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

I have come to believe that herein lies our problem with fear. We have little faith. We need to be reminded of the verses in the Bible that will help us get on the right track regarding what we should fear and what we shouldn’t.

Fear God:
LK 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

PROV 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Fear not the evil one:
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


We should not fear because evil cannot separate us from the love of God that we have through Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
