Frightened
Topical Encyclopedia
In the biblical context, the concept of being frightened is often associated with fear, anxiety, and a lack of trust in God's sovereignty and protection. Throughout Scripture, instances of fear and being frightened are met with divine reassurance and calls to faith.

Old Testament Instances

1.Adam and Eve: The first instance of fear in the Bible occurs inGenesis 3:10, where Adam says, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." This fear arises from disobedience and the awareness of sin, illustrating how separation from God leads to fear.

2.Israelites at the Red Sea: InExodus 14:10, as Pharaoh approached, the Israelites were terrified and cried out to the LORD. Despite their fear, God delivered them, demonstrating His power and faithfulness. Moses reassures them inExodus 14:13, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today."

3.Joshua's Leadership: As Joshua assumes leadership after Moses, God commands him inJoshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." This highlights the importance of courage rooted in God's presence.

New Testament Instances

1.Disciples in the Storm: InMark 4:40, after calming the storm, Jesus asks His disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" This incident underscores the call to trust in Jesus' authority over creation, even amidst life's tempests.

2.Fear of Persecution: Jesus addresses the fear of persecution inMatthew 10:28, saying, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Here, Jesus redirects fear from earthly threats to a reverent fear of God.

3.Paul's Encouragement: In2 Timothy 1:7, Paul reminds Timothy, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline." This verse emphasizes that fear is not from God, and believers are equipped with His Spirit to overcome it.

Divine Reassurance

Throughout Scripture, God consistently reassures His people not to be frightened.Isaiah 41:10 offers comfort: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." This promise of divine presence and support is a recurring theme.

Fear of the Lord

While being frightened is often portrayed negatively, the Bible distinguishes between worldly fear and the "fear of the LORD," which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). This reverential awe leads to obedience and trust in God, contrasting with the paralyzing fear that comes from a lack of faith.

Conclusion

In summary, the Bible addresses the human experience of being frightened by encouraging trust in God's power and presence. Believers are called to replace fear with faith, relying on God's promises and the assurance of His constant companionship.
