Luke 12:5 (NKJV) 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
A man cried on his death bed "Help me I don't want to die," "What is your fear," I asked, he replied, "I am not sure God will accept me." His life was one of ups and downs never really trusting the Author of Life.
Jesus is revealing to his disciples that misplaced fear has no credit, man can do nothing to keep us from God, however, God can send us away from Him and that is the fear we should acknowledge. God created, He breathed into man the breath of life, it is in His Power alone to give and take.
The man above listened intently as I explained, he had followed the wrong ideas about salvation, the heart must be given to Jesus and not taken back, we are to ask, seek and knock on the door of Eternity, Matthew 7:7, our eternal lives depend upon it.
What do you fear, I pray it is not misplaced?
Heavenly Father help us to look to You, help us to trust You, Help that we might seek no other, for we know there is know other Name given among men, that is Jesus Christ, for Salvation. Amen
