Few things paralyze a life with Christ the way fear does. And so it should come as no surprise that throughout scripture God’s people are reminded – commanded, even! – to not be afraid. Especially for those living in the promised land. For Jesus longs to gather His children in a land without fear. The question then becomes: are we willing to live fearlessly for Him?
From the beginning, at the core of God’s promise to His people was a land of their own. A land where they would dwell with Him and He with them. A land where they would not fight for victory, but from victory. God’s people waited for centuries for the realization of that promise. But through Jesus, the promised land is no longer something that will happen one day. So unlike the people of Israel, we no longer need to wait for the promised land. When we live in the legacy of the Kingdom, we are living in the promised land now.
