The following are some contrasting thoughts with regard to fear and faith:
- Fear imprisons Faith liberates (Romans 6:17-18).
- Fear paralyzes Faith empowers (Philippians 4:13; Colossians 1:1-13).
- Fear disheartens Faith encourages (1 Thessalonians 1).
- Fear sickens Faith heals (James 5:13-15).
- Fear makes us useless Faith makes us serviceable (2 Timothy 2:15-21).
