The Bible addresses fear in various contexts, from the fear of God to the fear of circumstances, enemies, and the unknown. Fear of God The fear of God is often depicted as a reverential awe and respect for the Almighty. It is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge, as stated in <a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a> : "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." This fear is not about being afraid in a negative sense but is about recognizing God's power, holiness, and authority. It leads to obedience and a righteous life, as seen in <a href="/ecclesiastes/12-13.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:13</a> : "When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man." Fear in Human Experience Fear is a natural human emotion, and the Bible acknowledges this reality. Many biblical figures experienced fear, yet God often reassured them with His presence and promises. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/15.htm">Genesis 15:1</a> , God tells Abram, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." Similarly, in <a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a> , God encourages Joshua, saying, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Fear of Circumstances and Enemies The Bible frequently addresses the fear of external threats, such as enemies or difficult situations. In <a href="/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27:1</a> , David declares, "The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread?" This verse highlights the confidence believers can have in God's protection. <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a> further reassures, "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." Fear and Faith The New Testament continues to address fear, often contrasting it with faith. Jesus frequently admonished His disciples to have faith rather than fear. In <a href="/mark/4-40.htm">Mark 4:40</a> , after calming the storm, Jesus asks, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" This illustrates the call to trust in God's power and presence even amidst life's storms. Overcoming Fear The Bible provides guidance on overcoming fear through trust in God. 1 <a href="/john/4-18.htm">John 4:18</a> states, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love." This verse emphasizes that understanding and experiencing God's perfect love can dispel fear. <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6-7</a> offers practical advice: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." In summary, while fear is a common human experience, the Bible consistently points believers to trust in God, who is sovereign and loving. Through faith, prayer, and understanding of God's character, believers are encouraged to overcome fear and live in the peace and assurance of God's presence and promises.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(p. a.)
