Philippians 1:28.
This word terrified in Greek is ptyro, denoting an uncontrollable stampede of startled horses.
We are not to fear anything: not Satan, sin, nor death, or the world. Christ, Lord of all, has conquered all.
You can see on the news cowards from all of humanity taking the lives of Christians, all over the world.
Paul's instruction: stand firm. They can only kill the body while your soul goes to its reward.
The stand a Christian makes at death is sure evidence of the unrepentant soul of a child of the devil earning his spot in hell.
While the Christians standing in faith to Christ the Redeemer proves they are assured of their reward,
counted worthy of the Kingdom of God.
While the murdering cowards find that very, very few ever find redemption.
A team is where a boy or man can learn courage. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
A coward dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies but once.
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is my Hero. Amen.
