What does the Bible say about fear and courage?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God's people should not fear, for He is sovereign and will protect them.

Scripture consistently instructs believers to reject fear, as fear often stems from unbelief and a distorted view of God's power. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we read, 'For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.' This highlights that true courage comes from trusting in God's omnipotence and His promises. Furthermore, as seen in Isaiah 41:10, God explicitly commands us not to fear because He is with us, reinforcing the idea that our reliance on Him dispels fear, thus empowering us to stand firm in the face of challenges.
