The Cause of Sinful Fears - Triumphing Over Sinful Fear

The Narrated Puritan

The revolving of these and other considerations in our thoughts, and the mixing of our own unbelief with them, creates a world of fear—even in good people. This continues until we resign everything to God, setting our faith upon His promises, which assure us of His sanctification of our troubles (Rom. 8:28), His presence with us in our troubles (Ps. 92:15), His moderation of our troubles to a degree we can endure (Isa. 26:8), and His final deliverance of us from our troubles (Rev. 7:17). In this way, we rescue our hearts from our fear and compose them to a quiet and sweet satisfaction in the wise and holy pleasure of our God.
