All Sin Interconnects with Fear
Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
It is amazing when I consider how sin intersects cowardliness. People who are afraid to embrace the truth will refuse to believe. People become repulsive to scare away those they fear. People afraid to lose their positions will murder (hate) in order to protect them. A person afraid of being a nobody will look to sex to feel like a somebody. A person afraid of being a nobody will resort to manipulation (witchcraft) to appear to be a somebody. People afraid of the real God will create a god in their own image. The number one reason for lying is the fear that people will discover the truth. It is amazing how all sins interconnect with fear. It is amazing how fear keeps us from living in God’s kingdom. It is amazing how the wide road of fear leads to the second death. It is amazing how facing our fear of death (the death of our reputation) will lead us to the truth and the truth will set us free. To be free is to be wild because to be wild is to gain the ability to look our fears (death) in the face. To find our life, we must lose our life. To be first, we must be last. To be a somebody, we must be willing to be a nobody. To be great, we must be a servant of all. As we crucify our flesh… as we die… we shall truly live. As for those who make life about becoming a somebody or protecting a title or a position… those people are slaves to the flesh.
