Luke 12:6

Protection and safetyGod's loveWorry and anxiety

4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
