2 Timothy 1:7 God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.
Cowardice prevents people from acknowledging Jesus Christ publicly.
John 12:42–43 Many rulers believed in Jesus. However, they wouldn’t admit it publicly because the Pharisees would have thrown them out of the synagogue. They were more concerned about what people thought of them than about what God thought of them.
Cowardice leads to avoidance of the difficulty.
Luke 22:57–60 57 But Peter denied it by saying, “I don’t know him, woman.” A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You are one of them.” But Peter said, “Not me!” About an hour later another person insisted, “It’s obvious that this man was with him. He’s a Galilean!” But Peter said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Cowardice can spread within a group
Judges 7:2–3 The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men with you for me to hand Midian over to you. Israel might brag and say, ‘We saved ourselves.’ Announce to the troops, ‘Whoever is scared or frightened should leave Mount Gilead and go back home.’ ” So 22,000 men went back home, and 10,000 were left.
Revelation 21:8 But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
DON’T BE A COWARD!!!
