Fear is Not a Sin: It Is a Call to Action

Fear Is Not a Sinexplores what the Bible says about fear, emphasizing Gods compassion and his many promises to be near his people when life dismays and threatens them.

When life takes a turn for the worse, our natural response is fear and anxiety, even though God commands his people many times in Scripture to not be afraid. However, as bestselling author and biblical counselor Edward T. Welch explains, those commands do not mean that our fears are inherently sinful. Instead, they are an invitation from God to go to him with our troubles.
