Kinds of fear
- fear of persecution (v.24-26) – Jesus said “Do not fear.”. Persecution should not stop us from doing the will of God in our lives.
- fear of death (v.28) – Our life here on earth is temporary; but God’s plan for us is to be with Him until eternity
- fear of not being valued (v.29) – God sees you as an asset to His Kingdom; See yourself as God sees you.
