The Foundation of Fearlessness

Commentators unanimously agree that the command 'Fear not' is grounded in two realities: God's personal presence ('I am with thee') and His covenant relationship ('I am thy God'). Scholars like Calvin and Spurgeon explain this isn't a vague comfort, but the solid foundation for all confidence. If the all-sufficient, faithful God is with you and for you, there is no ultimate reason for fear or dismay.
