The specific command, "Do not fear," appears 51 times in the Bible! Irrational fears, exacerbated by Satan, are increasing! Of course, we need healthy fears. If a person had no fear, he would never need courage. Knowing God's plan and having a close relationship with God generally takes away unhealthy fears. God will never forsake us! The Bible emphasizes action much more than feelings, so "Do not fear" primarily means: "Have courage and do the right thing no matter how scared you may feel."
