These are trying times. All around us, there is uncertainty and unrest. We have experienced Covid-19, disasters (both natural and man-made), and rumors of wars and conflicts around the world.
It’s very easy to become overwhelmed. So, where do we turn? What can we do? How do we overcome fear?
Friend, let me share the secret with you. In the Bible, Jesus reveals the recipe for dealing with feelings of fear. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
You see, God doesn’t want us to live in fear! He desires us to know His power, His love, and peace of mind! “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18a).
The only one in all the world that can claim to have perfect love is Jesus Christ! He proved His love and His care for us when He died for you and me about 2,000 years ago. “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7). “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Friend, do you want to experience His eternal and amazing love that can conquer your fear? If so, you must understand only three simple concepts, and you must make one crucial decision. Please continue reading this tract! It has life-changing information!
If you desire God’s peace to deliver you from fear of crisis, circumstance, and conditions of life, you must:
1. RECOGNIZE WHY YOU HAVE FEAR
Fear comes from a lack of trust in God. “And He (Jesus) saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” (Matthew 8:26a). Our fear is a direct result of our sin and separation from God. More important than the fear we face right now is that our sin truly separates us from the God of perfect peace. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
No matter how much good we do, we still fall short. No one is good enough to overcome fear by themselves, and more importantly, to gain access to the God of Heaven on his merit.
2. REALIZE THE PENALTY OF SIN
“For the wages of sin is death...” (Romans 6:23). Christ showed His great love for us when He died on the cross to pay our sin debt. Christ’s love is the only way to overcome fear AND sin!
3. REALIZE CHRIST LOVES AND DIED FOR YOU
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Christ showed His great love for us when He died on the cross to pay our sin debt. Christ’s love is the only way to overcome fear AND sin!
THERE IS ONLY ONE SIMPLE DECISION YOU MUST MAKE: TRUST CHRIST ALONE AS YOUR SAVIOR.
“But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23b). “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Everlasting life and deliverance from fear is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
YOU CAN CLAIM GOD’S PROMISE FOR SALVATION RIGHT NOW:
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).
NOW PRAY, CONFESS THAT YOU ARE A SINNER, ASK GOD TO SAVE YOU, AND RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR.
