Fear is not just an emotional sin; it is also a mental attitude sin. A believer may believe any number of false doctrines that are promoted by the kingdom of darkness in this world. False doctrines lead to wrong conclusions and then sin is produced. One of these sins is the sin of fear. Though different from the emotional sin of fear because of its source, the result is the same: failure to apply God’s word within God’s PPOG for your life. The ten spies were cowards when they scouted the Promised Land. Joshua said of them, "Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the Lord my God fully" (JOS 14:8).
PSA 27:1-3 ({A Psalm} of David.) The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In {spite of} this I shall be confident.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks {with satisfaction} on his adversaries. (PSA 112:5-8)
