Fear makes men weak. Godless men resort to violence and intimidation not because of their strength, but because of their weakness. They can't help being made in the image of God, and this means they know their dark deeds will be exposed. Their fear makes sense. Fear is what drives them to persecute the godly, and this is precisely why Christians are not to give in to the fear. Our sins have been forgiven. Fear and shame have been driven far away, and so we are to stand strong and confidently. We know that God brings all things to light, and when He does, the sound of a driven leaf puts His enemies to flight (Lev. 26:36). God alone has ultimate power over body and soul, so we are to fear Him alone. This fear is not a fear which leads to flight or to weakness; it is a fear of reverent awe. He has written even the most mundane details into the story with meticulous precision, so what should you be afraid of, Christian? If you are Christ's, you are to acknowledge this just as gladly as He acknowledges you.
