I Know

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:8-12

"For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day." (2 Timothy 1:12)

God "has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). The way to overcoming fear is to "know" God. To perceive Him, to see Him, to experience Him. The more we come to "know" Him, the less we will fear.

Know that God is able to keep what you commit to Him: "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
