The Bible states that, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). Jesus gave to His disciples the words of God. The disciples heard words that describe God in ways that were foreign to their understanding of God. Many times our understanding of God is not accurate. We tend to think thoughts about God which are not accurately biblical. We tend to make up our own theology. Theology is nothing but having thoughts about what God is like. Sometimes our thoughts are way out in left field. The Bible is the book that gives accurate information about God and His ways in dealing with His creation.
One major reaction to God is one of fright. We mortals like to use fright and fear to manipulate others. We will even use scary and spooky ways for entertainment. Hollywood rakes in millions for their horror movies. If the whole truth be known on how evil evil is, we would forget about Halloween in a heartbeat.
Throughout the King James Bible the words “fear not” appear over 63 times. Jesus and the Holy Spirit do not rely on fear and fright. The Bible states “God is love.” And that love is far above the human imagination. Let’s glory in God’s love and share it with others who are living in the grips of fright and fear.
