The Fear Not of Grace

“And the angel said unto her, ‘Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.’” (Luke 1:30)

The four, “fear nots,” of Christmas are not original with me. If I knew who first spoke or wrote of these I would give credit. I only remember the titles.

Yesterday we looked at the “fear not” of answered prayer. Today we will look at the “fear not” of grace or favor.

God extends His grace, unmerited favor, in salvation, saving us, forgiving our sins and showering us with blessings which we do not deserve. His grace over-shadows us when we are going through sickness, separation and sorrow. Fear not: you have found grace with God. We need not fear eternity because of His grace.  We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and fear not.
