Seven Reasons to Not Fear预览

No reason to blush

“Fear not, for you will not be ashamed.” (Isaiah 54:4)

We won’t feel ashamed of our faith. Critics may nitpick the Scriptures upon which we base our beliefs, but each year, the Lord will increasingly demonstrate that His Word contains no errors, exaggerations, or omissions. It's no dishonor to be a simple believer; the faith that solely looks to Jesus is a crown of honor upon anyone's head, worth more than any medal on their chest.

We won't feel ashamed of our hope. It will unfold just as the Lord has promised. We will be nourished, guided, blessed, and comforted. Our Lord will return, and then our days of sorrow will be over. How we will exult in the Lord, who first gave us a vibrant hope and then fulfilled that which we hoped for!

We won't feel ashamed of our love. Jesus is to us the epitome of loveliness, and we will never, ever regret giving our hearts to Him. Beholding our magnificent Beloved will justify our deepest affection for Him. No one will condemn the martyrs for their devotion to Him. While the enemies of Christ are forever scorned, those who love Jesus will be honored by all the holy angels, for they chose disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of the world.
