    The Restoration Of Sight And The Reception Of Salvation

     | 1,745 views

    Using Joseph as an example and the word for "fear" in Greek (Phobeo) used by the Angel, we too can overcome the fears that keep us from the pursuit of holiness (sanctification).

    PHOBIA! AS DEFINED, IT MEANS “AN EXTREME OR IRRATIONAL FEAR OF OR AVERSION TO SOMETHING.” FEAR CAN BE GOOD! FEAR HELPS PROTECT US. IT MAKES US ALERT TO DANGER AND PREPARES US TO DEAL WITH IT.
