FAITH over FEAR

 

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Centered & Put Faith Over Fear❓ 

To live a Christ-centered life means making Jesus the focus of everything, yes EVERYTHING : our THOUGHTS, DECISIONS, RELATIONSHIPS, and even our STRUGGLES. It’s choosing to anchor our hearts NOT in what the world says or what fear whispers, BUT in who Christ is and what HE HAS DONE for us.

To be Christ-centered and put faith over fear means making Jesus the very foundation of our lives — not just in the easy moments, but in our thoughts, choices, relationships, and struggles. Fear will always try to creep in, whispering lies and stirring doubt, but when we anchor ourselves in Christ, fear loses its grip. Scripture promises, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you” (Isaiah 26:3). Faith over fear is not the absence of fear — it’s the decision to bring that fear to the feet of Jesus, to pray instead of panic, to trust His Word above our emotions, and to walk in obedience even when the path looks uncertain. His perfect love drives out fear (1 John 4:18), and His peace guards our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7). In Christ, we find not only courage but true freedom.

Putting Faith Over Fear doesn’t mean we’ll never feel afraid...

👉🏼 It means when fear comes, we run to the feet of Jesus. 

👉🏼 We remember that He is bigger than any trial, stronger than any enemy, and faithful to every promise.

✅ It’s praying instead of panicking.

✅ Trusting God’s Word over our emotions.

✅ Choosing obedience even when the path looks uncertain.

✅ Living with the confidence that we are loved, forgiven, and held by Him.☝️

🙌 When Christ is at the center, fear loses its power. His perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18 [NIV] : There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. ), and His peace guards our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7 [NIV] : And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.).
