What Does it Mean to Fear God?

05/25/23 • 7 min

The Bible says to fear God and that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Does this mean we should be afraid of God?
While He is King of Kings and Lord of everything, God is not the author of fear. His perfect love casts out fear, including fear of any punishment.
In this episode, I share what fear means when it comes to a believer and their relationship with God. You’ll find assurance and confidence that you’re at peace with Him, there’s no looming judgment, and you’re safe and secure in His family!

Changing Your Focus

It’s easy to be concerned about our sins, especially when the enemy reminds us of them. But the more we focus on sins, the more we start to freak out about our failures. Soon, we can spiral into questioning our forgiveness and even doubting our salvation.
So, what’s the solution to avoiding this sort of panic-filled Gospel? Where do we as believers keep our focus?
In this episode, I share with a caller how the Gospel is set up for you to simply fix your eyes on one thing. When you recognize this singular focus really works, you’ll begin to relax in the beautiful covenant you now live under!

No Daily Confession Needed!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB)
Any good Bible teacher knows that context is everything. Yet many Christians remain confused about 1 John 1:9, believing an ongoing cleansing ritual is needed to be forgiven and cleansed by God.
It’s shocking that the religious world continues to perpetuate this doctrine, teaching believers that the blood of Jesus is less effective than the Old Testament blood of bulls and goats.
In this episode, I explain the proper context of this passage and share with a caller why we are as forgiven today as we ever will be. You can rejoice in knowing that by one offering, you have been cleansed for all time, and your forgiveness is truly finished!
