Without fear. Jesus teaches – whoever believes in him and lives with him does not have to fear anything.

What is the most powerful driving force in the life of a person today?” 98% of those questioned answered that it is fear. 
Jesus says: “Be careful what you listen to” (Mk 4:24)!

The New Testament encourages everyone not to be afraid. Zacharias, who is making a sacrifice in the temple, is addressed by an angel: “Do not be afraid” (Lk 1:13). The Virgin Mary behaved differently from Zacharias when the angel announced to her that she would be the mother of the Son of God. The angel also said to her:” Do not be afraid, Mary” (Luke 1:30)! When an angel announces to Joseph in a dream that the child conceived by his fiancée is the Son of God, the angel reminds: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid!” (Mt 1:20). And did not the angels say to the shepherds on the fields of Bethlehem: “Do not be afraid “ (Luke 2:10)!?

Fear is in a person’s blood from birth to death, as a result of original sin. Which is all a motive of fear. Why is there so much fear in our life when we believe in God? How many words express this state of ours: fear, timidity, apprehension, horror, alarm, dread, panic, terror, uncertainty, restlessness, threat, dismay, trembling, shaking, and how many other names are there for the state of mind and body when we approach the wrong to your God.

“Do not be afraid!”, these words of Christ should be realized by all of us who have believed in Christ. We must not be intimidated so quickly, because fear makes our life unpleasant and difficult. It destroys and makes slaves of us – fear, when we rely on it, what people think about us, what they say about us, write about us, how they treat us. We must not be ashamed of our Christianity. When we faithfully stand by Christ, He will take care of us. To be faithful to Christ even in difficulties, and unpleasant things, confessing Christ even to those who do not have the best relationship with God, faith, the Church, Christianity, or the Pope, quickly brings peace, joy, satisfaction…

It is beautiful, useful, and right for us to put God first. What does God ask of us? When we make God happy with our behavior. Our faithfulness to God’s word is the guarantee of our eternity. We must not hide our Christianity from someone, that someone has power, position, education, etc., and does not believe in God. Is it right for someone to say, and possibly even live by it, that he is a Christian in his soul, but on the outside, in his behavior, he behaves in such a way that he does not show it? Many are satisfied with the fact that it is enough to live their faith in private, in the church, but no longer where we fulfill our duties. Whoever behaves in such a way that he hides his God in private, does not have his God in his heart, he is not a true witness of Christ. A true Christian does not have two faces, two hearts, and two tongues and does not live two lives, public and private, but has one God, one Truth and that is Jesus Christ.

Christ’s words are also binding today: “Everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.” But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 10:32-33). Do these words need comment? No.
