At the heart of the entire Bible are a handful of life-saving truths to which God wants us to “hold on for dear life.” It is not the strength of our grip, however, that results in our rescue from sin and death. Rather, these are the truths by which God takes hold of us. This week we see how we are held onto by Christ and let go from fear. The evil of this world and the danger we encounter gives us every reason to be afraid. Christ answers this fear, however, with his certain and comforting promises. With each promise he makes, he keeps hold of us and gives us a way to keep hold of him. He may not always act in the way we expect him to or grant our every request. When we hold him to his promises, however, fear is replaced by confidence that he will deliver.
