In this world
there is no such thing as "No Fear."
There are supernatural and
deathly pangs of fear coursing through the life-experience of every
living thing on planet Earth. Pangs of fear are utterly pervasive.
There are no exceptions to or exemptions from the dark magnetism of fear.
Saying that one must "have no fear" will not change the nature of fear
itself or make it go away. Anyone who says different is either
an idiot or a liar. Fear is integral to living in this old world and has
been since Day One.
Day One is the day when the adam-species began to die. Before Day One, the adam and the Dominion of Earth were protected through the the constitution of life by which God the Father upholds and rules His eternal kingdom. God's constitution of things is, by His own Decree, called His word. "The word [of God} was made flesh and dwelled among us and we beheld His glory." These days, the word of God on planet Earth is also know as Jesus of Nazareth.
After the Creation itself and after the terrible, glaring dawn of Day One, the third most significant event to ever happen in this world began with these words: "Glory to God in the highest and on Earth. Peace! Goodwill toward men." That is an approximate translation (King James Bible) of words the Father used to open the new covenant that He established as a living testament in His Christ between Himself and the trembling masses of planet Earth.
Given the inevitability of fear throughout the planet, the reassurance of God's own intervention and goodwill toward men is the best news anyone could ever hear in this world. Anyone who chooses to think the new covenant is some sort of religious device invented by men to assuage fear is making an error in judgment. Hearing is one thing. Understanding what's heard is something else.
The fact is that for 2000 years people have been hearing about the "new testament" between God the Father and the people of Earth. But instead of gaining the hope and peace promised in the opening statement of that covenant, people (in the main) have chosen other ways, other methods and other devices to worship other "gods." Only God Himself knows precisely why so many people imagine Him to be something or someone other that Who He Is.
Sure enough, folks everywhere are perfectly free to choose believing and acting upon whatever they like in worship or in any other enterprise of human experience. The aggregate result of every single choice made since Day One has produced the atmosphere and lifestyle that feeds rather than assuages fear.
Saying it isn't so won't change the truth. Truth is not an intellectual concept. Truth is a supernatural power. Jesus said, "I am the truth." Whatever else people have chosen to think or even believe about "the truth" can't change it's essentially supernatural character. Fear is a supernatural power, too. And it is the supernatural power of fear that cripples and kills more than a few living Souls every day. Only those who turn wholeheartedly to God the Father in the new covenant of His Christ can truly "fear no evil."
