Romans - Part 4: SPIRITSample

Faith Over Fear

The last 3 years have been an example to me of how easy it might be to react to a situation in fear. The Lord has given us a natural human response to fearful experiences; he provides the human body with a healthy "fight or flight" stress response. But, there is an unhealthy way we can respond when we are not trusting Christ, when we, instead, fear man and what man can do to us. I remember being in a place, before following Christ, when all I did was worry and fear about almost anything. I don't miss that place! I now truly have the peace that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

As David put it so well, "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?" Psalms 118:6

I just wanted to encourage those who are reading this, that ultimately, Christ is victorious on the cross and as He stated, "It is finished."

"O death where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Corinthians 15:55
