VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. GOD spoke to Him in a vision:
1. The Word is our Guarantee (Psalms 19:9)
The fear of the LORD is clean, standing forever. The judgments of the LORD are true; they are altogether righteous.
2. Faith is our Guarantee (Hebrews 11:1)
Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.
3. Lord Jesus is our Guarantee (Hebrews 7:22)
In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
4. Holy Spirit is our Guarantee (2 Corinthians 1:22)
who has placed his seal on us and has given us the Spirit in our hearts as a down payment.
B. Do not be afraid or remove fear.
1. Perfect love removes fear (1 John 4:18)
There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.
2. If you're a glorifier of God, then fear God. (Respect Him) (Revelations 14:7)
He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the time for him to judge has arrived. Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
C. God will protect us. (2 Thessalonians 3:3, Deuteronomy 23:14)
But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
For the LORD your God is on the move within your camp to deliver you and to hand your enemies over to you. Therefore your camp must be holy so that he will not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. "
D. God will reward us. (1 Corinthians 3:14)
If what a person has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
1. Our reward will be based on what we've done. (Revelations 22:12)
"See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his action.
2. God is our reward (Genesis 15:1)
Some time later, a message came from the LORD to Abram in a vision: "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield; your reward will be very great."
