Back to EpisodesIsaiah 41:8-10 Because He has chosen, “Do Not Fear”
Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description
Because God has chosen His people, taken hold of them, and not rejected them, the command “Do not fear” follows necessarily. Fear is inconsistent with covenant identity grounded in divine election.
God Almighty—the One who is self-existent, sovereign over all, needing nothing and dependent on no one—has, in His perfect and unchanging love, chosen a people for Himself. He has taken hold of them and has not rejected them. Therefore, they do not need to fear. Not because they are strong, but because they are His.
