Fearless
We live in a world overflowing with reasons to be afraid—uncertainty, loss, and challenges that feel too big to handle. Yet the Apostle Paul reminds us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
We are invited us to face fear through the lens of faith. Fear is simply the expectation of catastrophe, but when we remember who holds the future, fear begins to lose its grip. The gospel itself is the ultimate demonstration of power over fear—Christ’s resurrection shattered the final threat of death and proved that God’s power is greater than any circumstance we face.
That same power still works in us today. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are equipped to act boldly, pray deeply, and love courageously. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing what matters more than fear. Love gives us that focus. It fuels compassion when retreat feels easier, and it moves us to reach others who are struggling in the shadows of worry and doubt.
Finally, Paul reminds us of the importance of a sound mind—a mind anchored in truth. Philippians 4:8 calls us to dwell on what is pure, honorable, and praiseworthy. A strong, steady mind doesn’t deny fear—it processes it through faith, remembering that God is faithful in every detail.
When we live in His power, love, and sound judgment, fear no longer drives our decisions—faith does. And that kind of life is contagious. It draws others toward the hope that only Jesus can offer.
