Fear Not; Neither Be Thou Afraid

Have you ever wondered why it was necessary for God to include hundreds of verses in the Bible to tell His human creation to: Fear not; Neither be Thou Afraid; don't worry; don't cry; don't be discouraged, don't be anxious? God was pleased with His Creation and on the 6th day He even pronounced His work 'very good'? But fear entered humankind through Adam's and Eve's disobedience to God's warning to 'not eat of the tree of good and evil' – which He said, would result in spiritual death for them.
Fear: a tool of satan to disrupt man's fellowship with God!
Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real
Fear: bondage to anxiety, delusion, depression, hopelessness, death.
Fear: believing a lie
Fear: worry
God looked forward to a relationship built on the love and trust evidenced when He walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening. He created them intelligent human beings without fear, able to understand His instructions and to comprehend His warning of not eating from the forbidden tree.
In the fullness of time God sent His Own Son, Jesus Christ to repair the breach in this relationship with Him. The Bible records that God looked in heaven and on earth, for someone whose sacrifice would be worthy to pay for this terrible sin. Finding NONE, He accepted His Son's blood to be the payment, IN FULL!
By accepting Jesus into their heart, the relationship between God and humans is restored and they have the right to be called 'the children of God'. As such, they also have received the mind of Christ – and will be guided by the Holy Spirit to grow into the person God has designed for them to be – free from satan's tool 'FEAR'!
