16 Reasons Christians Don't Need to Fear

1) There is no need to fear death, because it is a promotion.  Why?  The moment you die you will wake up in paradise with Jesus.  Philippians 1:21 says, “For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

2) There is no need to fear pain, because it is only temporary.  The Bible calls pain “our momentary light affliction (2 Cor 4:17).”

3) There is no need to fear being different, because you have to be different to be like Jesus.  Jesus said, “If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you (Jn 15:18).”

4) There is no need to fear being alone, because God will always be with us.  The Lord has promised, “I will never leave you or abandon you (Heb 13:6).”

5) There is no need to fear persecution, because earthly rejection means heavenly rewards.  Jesus said when you are persecuted, “Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven (Mt 5:11-12).” 

6) There is no need to fear suffering, because God uses it for our growth.  Hebrews 13:7 says, “Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons.  For what son is there that a father does not discipline?”

7) There is no need to fear adversity, because God works all things together for our good.  Romans 8:28 says, "We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."

8) There is no need to fear sudden danger, for the Lord will keep your foot from a snare.  Proverbs 3:25-26 says, "Don't fear sudden danger or the ruin of the wicked when it comes, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare."

9) There is no need to fear poverty, because God will provide for you.  Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

10) There is no need to fear loss, because God will comfort you.  2 Corinthians 1:4 says, “He comforts us in all our affliction.” 

11) There is no need to fear sickness, because God will heal you.  James 5:15 says, “The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up.” 

12) There is no need to fear the devil, because the evil one cannot touch you.  1 John 5:18 says, "We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the one who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him."

13) There is no need to fear hell, because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  Romans 8:1 says, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus."

14) There is no need to fear the odds, because the Lord is your helper.  Hebrews 13:6 says, "Therefore, we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

15) There is no reason to fear the future, because God knows and controls everything that happens.  Isaiah 14:24 says, "The Lord of Armies has sworn:  As I have purposed, so it will be; as I have planned it, so it will happen."

16) There is no need to fear losing your salvation, because nothing can snatch you out of God's hand.  John 10:28, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand."
