INTRODUCTION:
The word “FEAR” is mentioned “500 Times” in the Bible out of wish also ,There are more of “FEAR NOT”in it ( about 366 times). Yet we find believers fearing like the unbelievers. Some people today are now in bondage of one kind of fear or another,while the fear of the unbeliever is understood,that of the believer is not justified because Christ has delivered him (Hebrew 2:5).
Only God is to be the believers object of fear.

(3) MAN: Lost of his,real image(Likeness of God)causes fear. Genesis 1:26; 5:1

For God has not given us the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). We are God’s children and the only fear the Bible say we should have is the fear of God (Proverb 9:10 : beginning of wisdom, Proverb 1:7: beginning of knowledge). Let us kill fear and we will be free from its bondage .
