2 Tim 1 7, For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I believe this verse is making us aware of what God through Christ did for us when we received him. The bible says old things have passed away behold all things are new. For us to instill the work God has done in us through Christ, we must read His word. When we were with out Christ, the sin nature in brought hopelessness, fear, hatred, confused minds ect. God is telling us that those things have been nailed on the cross with our sins and just as we get tempted to sin now and then and we resist, we must also resist the feelings of fear, powerlessness over circumstances that we think that are beyond us, know that we are loved and can also love and believe that we have a sound, healthy God designed minds which can think the thoughts of Christ as we go about our daily lives. WE MUST CAST down all thoughts and feelings that exalts itself above the words or establishment of our Lord and victory will be ours, as the Lord Jesus said we should not fear because he has already overcome this world and all that it has in it.
