To Fear or Not To Fear?
The Bible Present an Interesting Dichotomy About Fear.
Seventy-five scriptures tell us to "Fear Not"
Fifty-three scriptures tell us to "Fear The Lord"
There are many Hebrew and Greek words for fear that help us to understand that some fear is a God-infused safety factor, while other fear paralyzes an individual to the point of holding them captive.
In almost every case where people are told not to be afraid, the phrase comes with a clause: "For I Am With You"
