What does the Bible say about fear?

Answered in 18 sources

The Bible frequently tells us not to be afraid, particularly to the people of God, because of His presence and sovereignty.

The Bible addresses fear throughout its pages, often imploring the people of God to not be afraid. In 2 Chronicles 20:15, the Lord tells His chosen people, 'Be not afraid.' This theme is repeated in various accounts, emphasizing that true assurance comes from knowing God's power and His covenant with His people. The Lord's consistent messages of 'fear not' serve as reminders that believers can trust in His control over every situation, regardless of the circumstances that incite fear.
