This verse is God’s assurance to us that as believers, we are not meant to live in fear. The ‘Spirit’ referred to here is the Holy Spirit, which God gives to all those who believe in Him. His Spirit does not render us timid or fearful, rather it imparts divine power, expressive love, and disciplined wisdom.
God equips us with power that can overcome any obstacle, love that can touch the hardest of hearts, and discipline that keeps us devoted to His word and His ways. This powerful trifecta transforms us into effective tools for the extension of His kingdom here on earth.
