WORDs of Saving Grace - afraid of God?
The reason many church people are afraid of God is because of the guilt of sin.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The reason many church people are afraid of God is because of the guilt of sin.
Genesis 3:10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
But the one who is afraid of judgement is not trusting in God's loving grace through the cross of Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
According to Romans 8:15 that spirit bondage to fear is not from God. It is not the Spirit of comfort Jesus sent from our Father.
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Jesus gave His life for our sin so we may come to God our Father in love, confidence and assurance.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
