Fear and Panic are Irrational and In Complete Opposition to the Christian Life

Why should God let you into His heaven?

The CoronaVirus is no doubt deadly and should be taken seriously, but blood bought born again Christians are admonished NOT to panic, worry, complain or fear-monger!

 

We have No Reason to Fear

 

Why?

 

…He is risen…

 

The Power of the Resurrection

 

At the very core of Christianity and our faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The culmination of God’s plan of redemption is Christ being raised from the dead conquering death. And by His death, burial and resurrection Christ rendered Satan powerless against all who believe by faith alone in the gospel of grace.

So beloved, the reason Christians should have no fear is that death itself has been swallowed up in victory (1 Corinthians 15:54). The spiritual bondage that Satan held over us which was sin, the law and death, has been broken because our faith in what Christ did on our behalf at the cross.

 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Corinthians 15:56-57

We have victory over sin, the law, Satan and death itself because as believers we identify with Christ death, burial and resurrection.

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

Romans 6:5

 

So have no fear…He is risen…

 

‘But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid”, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ‘

Matthew 28:5

He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ‘

Matthew 28:6

 

Prayers for the body of Christ, for lost mankind and that gospel of grace, be proclaimed!
