"Whom the Son Sets Free is Free Indeed"
Fear is a state of uneasiness or suffering brought on by apprehension about harm to one’s future. Throughout the Bible, there are several examples of fearful situations. However, it proclaims that only God is to be feared and that human fear might be an opportunity to grow in faith in him.
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. 1 John 4:18
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25.
Hypocrisy – An outward appearance masking a hidden truth. Especially in concerns of faith, the Bible condemns hypocrisy. Believers should show their devotion to God through their words and deeds, as well as their internal motivation.
Becoming Christlike
Is a process through which believers are conformed by the power of the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ’s likeness, particularly the areas of obedience and trust.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Believers should pray for their own needs as well as the needs of others. Many examples of intercession are found in Scripture, and it is praised as pleasing to God.
