The fear of man

Episode 1016

Angus Buchan

God gives us the confidence we need to overcome the fear of man. Like it says in Proverbs 29:25 "The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe."

Psalm 81:10
"I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."

Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Forgive

If Jesus Christ Who died on the cross for us says that we must forgive, then surely we must forgive others. We must not have anything in our hearts that will block our relationship with God. We need to exercise grace, undeserved favour, as God has done with us.

Born again

John 3:3–4, John 3:7

John 3:3-4, 7. Unless a person is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. This means that our lives need to change based on a decision we make to believe in and follow Jesus. It is a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction from where we were going. There needs to be change.

The Time Keeper

Isaiah 38:5, Isaiah 38:8

The Lord is the ultimate Time Keeper. Isaiah 38:5, 8. God gave king Hezekiah an extra fifteen years of life. God also caused time to go backwards by ten degrees on the sun dial. He is the God of the impossible, the Miracle worker. We cannot limit God.
