Although not found 365 times in the Bible, “fear not” was spoken as an imperative from the lips of Jesus, and therefore should be taken as a direct command from the Lord Himself.
There are many earthly reasons to fear today; the failing economy, bad reports from the doctor, global unrest, terrorist threats, and hopeless predictions from political prognosticators just to name a few.
However, as followers of Christ we have greater reasons to fear not; God will not fail you (Deut.31:6), God will not forsake you (1 Chron. 28:20), God is with you (Isaiah 41:10), God will help you (Isaiah 41:13), God knows you by name (Isaiah 43:1), God can do marvelous things (Joel 2:21), It is God’s pleasure to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32), and Christ is the First and the Last (Rev.1:17).
Simply put, Jesus said, “Do not fear” (Matthew 10:31 NKJV). Hearing it once from Jesus is just as good as hearing it 365 times. He said it, that settles it!
