Fear

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.   - 2 Timothy 1:7

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, "Abba, Father."   - Romans 8:15

Because God's children are human beings--made of flesh and blood--the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.  - Hebrews 2:14-15

And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love.  - 1 John 4:17-18

By The Spirit

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.   - Romans 8:14

But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.   - Galatians 5:18

Changing Thoughts and Attitudes

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.   - Romans 12:2

Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.   - Ephesians 4:23
