Fear is the disease of humanity. It is what rushed in with that first bite. It's what continues to drive up the body count. Death resides in us all and the smell of it is the fear. Christ came to take away the power of death. The wrath of God. If God has acquitted us, what court will prosecute us. That's Paul's argument.
One day, I will be free of this disease that eats away at me. The Spirit of Christ in me assures me of this hope. Until that day, Lord please give me the strength to overcome the temptation to succumb to this power. Give me the strength to live as a free man. Unafraid.
If this is true ... oh, man. Right? If this is true, it is good news indeed. How can we keep this to ourselves and in the end, look at him and tell him we believed it all along?
