Be Fearless

Philippians 1: 27-28

27Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

Be fearless! One thing that will get us every time is second-guessing! We are encouraged to conduct ourselves in a manner worth to the gospel of Christ. Then we are told that the evidence of the lifestyle will be confirmed by not being frightened by our opposition. As soon as you let a little fear creep in, the second-guessing starts. Fear is a useful tool used by the devil. It starts off small, and if left un checked, it will grow into something that will cause you to question everything. There is nothing to fear, there is no reason to second-guess. You know the direction to go The Lord has told us how it would be under the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31 the Lord says of the New Covenant:

I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.

SO live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, do not second-guess; do not be frightened by the opposition. The Lord will protect you, he will replenish you, and He will never forsake you! The laws are written on your heart. No matter the hardship, hold true to your heart!

Peace,

Brian
