PS - 23 FAITH 201

AFRAID OF GOD? NO, not at all.

First we said to those of little Faith, "Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom."

With beginning faith, we have become Believers. Our relationship has changed.
Now, the awesome, power, presence, wisdom, providence, love, patience and
Grace of God has become our shield, protector, provider, sustainer, Redeemer,
Father and Friend.

God has also provided a wonderful plan that, at its center, positions Christ as our
Savior, Sacrifice and the Atonement that allows God to see us as innocent. No
longer will we ever suffer the deserved Wrath of God.

Our fear of death is not the fear of evil, is it? It is the fear of God! We all must
expect to walk that valley of the shadow of death. Do not approach your Savior,
Redeemer, and God with fear! See yourself as God sees you. -forgiven-

God's arms reach out in love as to a long lost sinless, child,
You will have finally come home

The Lord is my Shepherd, I will fear no evil.
Not even the evil that was us.
