Mankind whom GOD has created and loves fears man. GOD has made it clear in his scriptures that you are not to fear the one who can kill the body, instead fear the one who can destroy the body and soul. (Matthew 10:28) Man can do nothing with your soul. Scripture upon scripture the bible teaches us to steer clear of the traditions of man when it comes to spiritual matters. (Mark 7:7-9) Man loves to manipulate the Word of GOD to his own ends. That’s why it is imperative that we study the Word of GOD to spot error in the deception of man.
As Christians, the Armor of GOD is vital in our survival against Satan and his earthly minions. (Ephesians 6:10-17) Jesus is the light that brings man out of darkness. Do not fear man because he is in the same boat as you. The same choices to fulfill his spiritual needs are woven throughout the bible to cut to the heart of man. (Acts 2:37) So remember when man lashes out at you it’s not personal they have a problem with GOD. So continue living godly, spreading the gospel, allow it to shape your life continuously.
Man wants you to fear him as he believes that his knowledge is greater than GOD. How delusional do you have to be to believe that? Man threatens us with bodily harm and strips us of our earthly desires. Your faith is the lynchpin to spiritual blow man out of the water, with your attitude, patience, and resolve to do the right thing. That makes man furious, as you kill them with kindness. Remember GOD rewards those who diligently seek him and when man has your physical life in his hand. Fear not and say “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34)(Acts 7:60)
