WHO, WHAT DO CHRISTIANS FEAR?

Part 10: God Has Not Given Us The Spirit of Fear

Greetings Brethren,

Peace be unto you. During these times Brethren we need God and Christ more than ever. We pray that we will forever walk in the Spirit. Only Christ Jesus can save us.

Peace and Paradise, Carl Patton a willing slave of Almighty God writing for the FreedomJournal 15 February 2006 in the year of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

The gift of the Holy Spirit is noted in Acts 8: 14-18.

Verse 17-18. “Then laid thy their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.”

“And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostle hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money.”

The Apostles preached and performed miracles in proof of His authority. However they could not confer this power. But in Acts 2:38 converts were promised this power.

Now turn back to our primary text found at II Timothy 1:7.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.”

The word fear in this instance is used in a sad sense. Here it means timidity, fearfulness, cowardice. However Christians do not need to have such feelings. God wishes Christians to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. (Se Ephesians 6:10).

Love for the righteous in this passage is the sincere desire to do that which will be beneficial to others. Although love comes with a sacrifice the righteous will still extend compassion to the Brethren.

Meanwhile this service will call upon good judgment or discretion. This is the meaning of a sound mind.
