Warning! Beware of the Spirit of Fearනියැදිය

When a person is filled with the spirit of fear, they cannot truly love.

Fear breeds jealousy, insecurity, and distrust (1 Samuel 18:6-9).

Fear significantly affects how we treat others and impacts our relationships, including marriage and sharing the gospel with others.

God’s Word says that one evidence of being a true Christian is the love we have for others (John 13:35), but the spirit of fear prevents us from loving them genuinely.

• Love asks: “What can I do for them?”
• Fear asks: “What will they do to me?”
• Love asks: “How can I help them?”
• Fear asks: “How can they harm me?”

Love brings us closer to people, while fear drives us away.

But when God’s perfect love fills our hearts, it drives out fear (1 John 4:18).
