What Is God’s Heart on Fear?

The apostle John, lovingly referred to as “the disciple whom he [Jesus] loved” (John 19:26), writes that “perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:18). He further tells us that, “God is love” (1 John 4:16). Logically, we can then say that fear has no place in God’s heart and no place in ours when we experience the unfathomable depth, breadth, and height of the life-changing love of God—the love He has for us all, the love He has specifically for you!

As you contemplate this love of God that is boundless, limitless, and free of fear, recall the reasons He has given in His Word that make it possible for you to live the fear-free life He provides and desires for you:

He is with you and will never leave you.

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deuteronomy 31:8).

He is your light, salvation, and stronghold.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).

He keeps you safe as you trust in Him.

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe” (Proverbs 29:25). He has His hand on you.

“You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me” (Psalm 139:5). He guides and holds you.

“Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast” (Psalm 139:10). He delivers you.

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).

He cares for you.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

He strengthens, helps, and upholds you.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (IsaIah 41:10).

He works in all things for your good.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”

(Romans 8:28).

He says nothing can separate you from His love.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39).

He has plans to give you hope and a future.

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (JeremIah 29:11).

He has made you more than a conqueror.

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).
