Bible Question:
Gracefull, I'm an ignorant person who happens to be a christian. Will you please clarify your statement? Where, other than "fear of finding truth" does fear fit into this topic? |
Bible Answer: I'm not exactly sure what answer you are seeking for this question, but I would like to type to you my thoughts on it. 1st.. Fear is not of God, at least not this one. Jesus came so that we might have life and more abundantly. He gave us peace, joy, etc. The devil comes to steal, kill, and distroy. Satan is all about influencing us to open the door to sin, just as he did Adam and Eve. So that he can separate us from God... Jesus said, "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life." If satan can get you to fear the truth he will cause you to separate yourself from God through pride. But fear has no power unless acted upon. We are held accountable, because God has given us the option to "Seek and yea shall find.... Knock and the door shall be opened". The phrase "Fear of finding truth" represents spiritual warefare. Fear/Satan and Truth/Jesus... Satan is on a mission to keep you from finding Jesus and to keep you apart from Him. But "Greater is He that is within you" , so Satan can't win the battle unless you allow him to. You have the choice and therefore you will be accountable for that choice. I hope I made since, in what I was saying. That is a quite complicated phrase to explain in writing, without writing a book. :) |
