Fearless Faith
Most people think of Job as a man who lost it all, but I think of him as a man who came to see that the one thing he had was the only thing he needed.
Job lost his fortune, his family, his fitness, his friends, and he even lost face–but the one thing he did not lose was his faith. He was willing to trust God even if he died. In Job 13:15 he said, “Though he slay me, I will hope in him.”
The secret to victory over the devil is to live a life abandoned to God. Most of our worries stem from the fact that we love our lives and the things and people in our lives so much that we are afraid of losing them. Satan uses this fear of loss to intimidate us. But you can’t scare a dead man.
Jesus said, “For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
(Matthew 16:25)
When you’re fully committed to Jesus Christ, you have already died to self (the hardest loss of all) and you have been raised to a brand new life (eternal life which no one or no thing can take away), so you can be fearless even in the face of death. Are you at the place in your life where you have turned from your sins and placed faith in Jesus? Then and only then can you experience the blessing of a fearless faith.
