[3948.58 --> 3949.70] is used in the Bible. |
[3949.70 --> 3952.22] And I did count over 150 times. |
[3953.52 --> 3953.92] Right? |
[3953.98 --> 3954.62] And there's different ways. |
[3954.74 --> 3955.58] Do not be afraid. |
[3956.04 --> 3956.92] Don't be afraid. |
[3957.02 --> 3957.64] Do not fear. |
[3957.82 --> 3958.80] No one to make you afraid. |
[3959.34 --> 3960.44] You can see them behind me. |
[3960.70 --> 3963.04] The numbers there are the amount of times that they are used. |
[3963.96 --> 3965.36] Now, it's not 365. |
[3966.16 --> 3966.82] It's about 150. |
[3967.42 --> 3968.90] And I may have missed one or two, |
[3969.08 --> 3971.94] and the research that I did seems to verify |
[3971.94 --> 3974.06] that it numbers between 140 and 150. |
[3974.74 --> 3977.86] The point isn't the number. |
[3977.86 --> 3980.08] Remember, it's the fact. |
[3981.72 --> 3982.90] The Bible says, |
[3983.18 --> 3984.26] when we are afraid, |
[3984.88 --> 3985.90] to not be afraid. |
[3986.64 --> 3988.68] Now, again, I get that that sounds circular. |
[3988.84 --> 3990.06] It sounds like a tautology. |
[3990.44 --> 3992.76] At minimum, it sounds too easy |
[3992.76 --> 3995.72] or even dismissive of the real fears that we have. |
[3995.72 --> 3998.08] But remember, right, |
[3998.32 --> 4001.40] that the root of our wrong fear |
[4001.40 --> 4003.24] is a story, |
[4003.84 --> 4005.50] is a false story |
[4005.50 --> 4007.80] that we are telling ourselves |
[4007.80 --> 4009.04] about ourselves. |
[4009.76 --> 4010.16] Right? |
[4010.16 --> 4011.14] It's a false story |
[4011.14 --> 4012.12] that we are telling ourselves |
[4012.12 --> 4013.60] about our place in the world, |
[4013.68 --> 4015.30] about the strength of our enemies |
[4015.30 --> 4017.14] or the challenges that we face |
[4017.14 --> 4019.20] or the lack of strength that we have |
[4019.20 --> 4021.02] or the lack of strength that God has. |
[4021.92 --> 4022.04] Right? |
[4022.04 --> 4024.26] Fear is rooted in a false story |
[4024.26 --> 4025.34] that we tell ourselves. |
[4025.44 --> 4026.16] And so the false |
[4026.16 --> 4028.70] or the antidote to false stories |
[4028.70 --> 4030.94] is true stories. |
[4032.34 --> 4032.46] Right? |
[4032.54 --> 4035.62] Don't fear by hearing God's story, |
[4035.94 --> 4037.62] the true and better story, |
[4037.88 --> 4040.40] over and over and over again. |
[4040.58 --> 4042.96] And then put that in your pocket. |
[4043.48 --> 4043.70] Right? |
[4043.78 --> 4045.20] Put that in your heart. |
[4045.20 --> 4048.22] Let that deeply plant in who you are. |
[4048.22 --> 4050.82] Like, if there was ever a call |
[4050.82 --> 4052.94] to memorize Scripture |
[4052.94 --> 4054.44] and the teachings of Scripture, |
[4054.68 --> 4056.12] it's in the face of our fears. |
[4057.18 --> 4059.92] Because so easily those stories get loud, |
[4060.00 --> 4061.74] we need to make the gospel story louder. |
[4064.06 --> 4065.56] And so what is your only comfort |
[4065.56 --> 4067.24] in life and in death? |
[4068.90 --> 4069.08] Right? |
[4069.12 --> 4070.20] That I am not my own, |
[4070.28 --> 4071.94] but belong body and soul |
[4071.94 --> 4073.80] in life and in death |
[4073.80 --> 4075.76] to my faithful Savior, |
[4076.16 --> 4076.96] Jesus Christ. |
[4076.96 --> 4079.56] that He has fully paid |
[4079.56 --> 4080.94] for all my sins |
[4080.94 --> 4081.96] with His precious blood. |
[4082.02 --> 4083.62] That He has set me free |
[4083.62 --> 4085.70] from the tyranny of the devil. |
[4087.14 --> 4088.92] Notice how that rightly orders |
[4088.92 --> 4090.40] our enemy. |
[4091.62 --> 4092.76] Rightly defines |
[4092.76 --> 4095.42] who has the power. |
[4096.28 --> 4098.14] He also watches over me, |
[4098.22 --> 4099.80] this one who defeated the devil. |
[4099.80 --> 4101.56] He also watches over me |
[4101.56 --> 4102.32] in such a way |
[4102.32 --> 4103.82] that not a hair can fall |
[4103.82 --> 4104.48] from my head |
[4104.48 --> 4105.52] without the will |
[4105.52 --> 4106.82] of my Father in heaven. |
[4106.96 --> 4107.80] In fact, |
[4108.10 --> 4109.08] all things, |
[4109.56 --> 4111.14] really? |
[4111.96 --> 4112.94] All things |
[4112.94 --> 4114.02] must work together |
[4114.02 --> 4115.58] for my salvation. |
[4116.58 --> 4118.22] Because I belong to Him, |
[4118.42 --> 4118.70] Christ, |
[4118.82 --> 4119.74] by His Holy Spirit, |
[4120.04 --> 4120.74] assures me |
[4120.74 --> 4121.56] of eternal life |
[4121.56 --> 4122.68] and makes me ready |
[4122.68 --> 4123.36] and willing |
[4123.36 --> 4124.36] from now on |
[4124.36 --> 4125.90] to live for Him. |
[4127.38 --> 4128.74] That's Heidelberg Catechism |
[4128.74 --> 4129.60] question and answer |
