The Price of Fear
By Robert Turner
The "fearful" will go to Hell. In Rev. 21:8 they are classed with the unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars; an unsavory company. Have you stopped to think why this is so? Your soul may be at stake!!
There are "fears" which are necessary in the Christian life -- such as: deep, abiding respect for God; (Heb.12:28) "be not highminded, but fear;" (Rom.11:20) and "fear" lest Christians will stray from Christ. (2 Cor. 11:3) Such "fears" are in keeping with a strong faith in God.
But there are fears that spring from doubt; (Matt. 14:25-32) which manifest themselves in many ways. When God sent Israel forth to war He rejected the "fearful" "lest his brethren's heart melt as his heart." (Deut. 20:8) God wants people who put trust in Him; not in physical strength or numbers. (Judges 7:3)
Those who "fear the people" and "love the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:42-43) are of little value to the Lord.
Anxieties cripple our usefulness, and prevent our putting His kingdom FIRST in our lives. (Luke 12: 22-34) If we "fear" to ask, we will not learn; (Luke 9:45) and if we "fear" to act, we become "unprofitable." (Matt. 25: 25-ff)
"Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28) This is part of Christ's instructions to the twelve, sent to proclaim truth in a hostile world. In later years Jesus spoke to Paul in a vision, "Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace; For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city." (Acts 18: 9-10)
Today the Lord's cause needs men of courage -- men unafraid to SPEAK -- men more concerned for their soul and the lost souls about them, than for self. Soft preachers are not money hungry. In these days an educated man can make a good living at something else. But they are cowards!! and this lack of faith in God will send them to hell with the rest of the fearful.
