One of the reasons this passage is so popular is its simplicity. The opposite of anxiety is peace. Anxiety is forbidden; peace is commended. It is God’s own version of “Don’t worry, be happy” - but with a glorious twist deeper than the universe, as John Piper explains in this three-minute video.

I just wanted to share my testimony with the comment section cause it just happened and I HAVE to share it. I got laid off yesterday and I’ve been handling it well because I’m holding on to Jesus however I’m human so I have moments of sadness. I went on a 40 min walk to be in nature, talk to Jesus , and listen to Coffee with Christ and at the end of the podcast I had some time until I got home so instead of putting on music, I decided to just ask Jesus what He wanted me to know in this moment, before reaching my house, I heard Phillipians 4, got into the house opened my Bible and wow. I watched this video because I asked Jesus for clarity and when I tell you I dropped to my knees!!!!! God is so good, He has us no matter what is going on and to hold on to Him is all we ever need. If anyone ever feels like He is not with you, trust all you have to do is ask, and wait on Him. I love you Jesus thank you for this word ❤

To worry is one of the most common and blasphemous sins people commit against God because at the heart of our worrying is a distrust in the fact that God is sovereign. I commit this sin often and also repent of it often. This is why it's so important to stay in the word of God, to be continually reminded that God is in control. Thank you brother Piper.

Tarp ness Please re-read what I wrote, the fact that someone may have high anxiety does not excuse the fact that to doubt and worry about God's sovereign promises is still SIN because to not trust God is a characteristic of unbelief which is sin. The Lord called Peter one of "little faith" because he began to DOUBT while walking on water which lead to him falling (Matthew 14:22-33). Peter doubted because he was afraid, does that make him any less Christian? No. You misinterpreted what I said and took it out of context, I hope I have cleared that up.

The country is full of religious manipulators and technology that can create anxiety. This is NOT God's will and He also is omniscient of these causes. Perhaps the greater sin when people are under attack is the lack of encouragement, prayer and support.

I agree. :) He's very passionate and tells the truth with no shame or apprehension, and often--or at least in my experience, Christians like that can come off as kind of...gruff or harsh. But he just seems so kind. I mean, even if an atheist or something disagrees with him on every account, it can't be denied that he is gentle and kind man, or at least makes great effort to convey that.

For many, the problem of faith is not "can He do it?" but "will He do it?". That is where some of these anxiety stems from. Matthew 27:46 even Jesus Christ felt the Father had left Him alone to bare the cross and cried out loud " why have You forsaken me?" The good thing is now, He can relate to my pain...because He knows how it feels to think "God has left me to figure this out on my own". Jesus Christ can relate to my pain. Jeremiah 8:21 God feels my hurt. 🤔🤔🤔

If you teach others to be free from sin, u must also be free from sin. The bible says that the teachers get judged more strictly because they the ones who can either lead people to false truth or Gods truth (death or salvation). How can you teach people when you are too selfishly attached to your sin? This does not mean we dont serve people, but we should consider our lives to be an example of what a christian of God should be. 1 sin is all it takes to break the whole law, thats why we have Jesus because he gave us the gift of repentance and power to help us be free from sin if we choose him to be the top love of our lives

customjrod Your works don't please God, unless they are works that come out of faith. Your current motive shows your lack of understanding of what God wants. If you're not wanting to hear the Gospel, you're not saved. Those are God's Words. Being saved is not going to church, being baptized, then being nice. It's hearing and accepting of Christ, trusting and believe in Him that God rose from the dead, our Lord and Savior, God's precious only begotten son, Jesus Christ. That is only half of faith, the other being the behaviors that come out of that faith being works for God to other people, showing love to all, even enemies, so that you are a witness of Him who saved you and that you trust him to forgive you when you slip and sin, KNOWING He is just. You need to start by praying and telling God you accept the Gospel of Christ and asking Him to guide you on His path. Then, STUDY the Bible daily, praying for knowledge and understanding while searching His Truth. Being baptized in water and joining a church isn't salvation, brother.

I recommend the KJV - it's a very faithful translation, doctrinally sound, beautiful in its poetry, and to the extent it's a bit foreign sounding in its composition (thine, wherefore) it forces me to slow down when reading to comprehend nuanced phrases or turn the words over in my head to give room to hear God's message for me. If the form/verbiage is a roadblock to you I think the ESV is good and easier on the ears. Please do not rely on the new living or message translations for your meat and bread. You can find plenty of thoughtful criticisms of them (and probably for any translation). While I know some people I believe to be faithful disciples who don't find a problem with those last two, it's always after a deep grounding in a faithful translation, plenty of study to solidify their foundation, and only then as a secondary or tertiary paraphrase rather than relied on for a direct reference. I don't think those translations should be called Bibles. I can paraphrase a verse to explain it one way or when I don't have it memorized, but I wouldn't call my paraphrase scripture. May God grant you to be strengthened with power through His spirit in your inner being. Soli Deo gloria!

Sydni Demers Closest English versions to original would be NASB or ESV. HCSB is also a quality translation that has more readability. Remember that Greek and Hebrew are simply different languages. When one translates a language, it is possible to "literally" translate it-and have the meaning entirely lost in translation. Important to balance getting the right words and getting the right meaning.

Are you a religious hypocrite who continues in sin & CLAIMS God will finish His good work in you? Or are you a true saint in Christ Jesus who obeys God’s call to STRIVE to purify yourself of sin? “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be SAVED? And he [Jesus] said unto them, STRIVE to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall NOT be able.” (Luke 13:23-24) You cannot obtain salvation without God’s work, BUT God only works in those who are working out their own salvation with fear and trembling. If you do not do your part, God will not take part in you. IF God is working in you, there will be PROOF with FRUITS of RIGHTEOUSNESS. Lord Jesus Christ will tell workers of iniquity to depart from Him. “…he [God] which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ…that ye may be sincere and without offence…Being filled with the FRUITS of RIGHTEOUSNESS…” (Philippians 1:6, 10-11)
