“He will not be afraid of evil tidings” (Psalms 112:7)

If you’re saved, you shouldn’t dread things that might happen in your future. If you give in to fear, how are you any different than a sinner? They don’t have God with them. They don’t know from experience how Christ has helped them in the past. Most importantly, they’re in constant bondage through the fear of death and judgment (Hebrews 2:15).

If you’re saved, you’ve been born again to a “living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled”, and every day, you’re “kept by the power of God through faith” (1 Peter 1:3–5).

If you’re saved, you have the ability to love God without fear of punishment.  “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).

If you’re saved, you have a new nature which enables you to rise above fear and doubt. Sinners anesthetize their pain with lusts of the flesh to forget their fears. They take the easy way out of troubles only to wake up the next morning in even more trouble. But you can “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7).

If you’re saved, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalms 27:1).
