序论：其实，我们人看起来有很多的惧怕，如怕平穷、怕失败、怕病、怕死等，但人里头有一个最大的惧怕，也是他常常没有意识到的，就是怕被神审判。当神的审判在一个人身上，他心里没有平安。这也就是为什么人人都寻找宗教的理由。宗教的一个宗旨就是要解决人心里的惧怕，但是那惧怕的根源在哪里，人不知道。大致上，人以为只要自己身体健康或是在地上事事顺利就没有惧怕。但这绝非事实。有时候，人生样样都顺利的人怀有更多的惧怕（怕失去），只是他将那些惧怕压制或是用一些方法来应对。其实，圣经很清楚告诉我们那活在审判中的罪人没有平安。《来9:27》：按着定命，人人都有一死，死后且有审判。如果一个人没有办法与那即将审判他的神和好与时常能以亲近祂，那他的一生是其实不断的活在惧怕里的，而那些的惧怕与日俱增。那我们可能会问说：为什么世人没有这样明显的感受到这样的惧怕呢？主要的原因是因为人的罪。人的罪不但是叫人犯罪，它更是叫人轻忽罪所带来的审判，就是人要从公义的神所受的审判。因此，《罗1:18》说他们是那些行不义阻挡真理的人（原文说他们是压制真理的人），如同用尽全力来将一个弹簧压下去的光景。他们压制真理的方法不但是以心里的意志，也用世界各种的知识，如科学的道理、医学、心理学、哲学等，并地上种种暂时的享乐来让自己的心能够愉快，且感到安逸。但是，有罪的人已经活在审判里，且终久会受到审判的事实是不能改变的。其实，圣经告诉我们那已经受审判的魔鬼是活在惧怕中。他们在惧怕中是天天敌挡神《雅2:19》，但人却是活在蒙蔽当中。因此，当我们越认识神的话，越要从无知中走出来。我们当晓得怎么坦然无惧地来到神面前。其实，很多基督徒不常来到神的面前，也因各种的理由不太喜欢来到神的面前。可能因为忙碌，或因为罪咎，或因无力，或因环境的试探等。首先，我们必要晓得，当人不能靠近神或不想靠近神，那其实是一个很严重的属灵问题。宁可我们处在苦难当中，愿意要呼求主，也不要让我们在安逸与舒适中远离主。当一个人向审判万人的神没有惧怕，良心里没有谴责，能以诚心与充足的信心来到神面前，他所享受的恩典是何等的大！他不但能看见神的帮助，所享受从神而来的智慧也是源源不断的。有些人说：“我总是看不到神的帮助，我的生活中总是没有果效”。其实，我们有否想过那是跟我们常常无法坦然无惧来到神面前有关系的问题呢？《诗42:5》我的心哪，你为何忧闷？为何在我里面烦躁？应当仰望神，因他笑脸帮助我，我还要称赞他。有时当我们看不见神的帮助时，与其坦然无惧地朝见主，反倒越无助，越无助时就越看自己的问题，越看自己的问题就越受控告，越受控告就越不能向神坦然无惧。这是一种恶性循环。《约壹3:21-22》说道：亲爱的弟兄啊，我们的心若不责备我们，就可以向神坦然无惧了。并且我们一切所求的就从他得着，因为我们遵守他的命令，行他所喜悦的事。那么，我们的问题只有一个，就是有罪的我们，怎么能坦然无惧来到圣洁与公义的神面前呢？我们想到自己的软弱与亏欠是很容易，且很自然的。因此，这些意念常常成为了我们靠近神的障碍。圣经在此究竟给予我们怎样的答案呢？

Prelude: Actually, we humans seem to have a lot of fears, such as the fear of poverty, the fear of failure, the fear of illness, the fear of death, etc., but one of the greatest fears in humans, which we often do not realize, is the fear of being judged by God. When God's judgment is on a person, there is no peace in his heart. This is the reason why people look for religion. One of the purposes of religion is to resolve the fears in people's hearts, yet people do not know the root of such fears. Generally speaking, people think that as long as they are healthy, or things on earth are smooth-sailing, then they will have no fear. But this is by no means true. Sometimes, some people who have everything going well in life have even more fears (fear of losing), but they suppress those fears or use some methods to deal with them. In fact, the Bible clearly tells us that there is no peace in sinners who live under judgment. <Heb 9:27> "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." If a person is unable to reconcile with the God who is to judge him, or is often unable to get close to God, then he will actually continue to live his whole life in fears, with those fears increasing with each day. Perhaps we might ask, why people in the world do not obviously experience such fears? The main reason is because of human sin. The sinful nature of man not only causes them to sin, it even causes them to neglect the judgment brought about by sin, which is what they will have to receive from the righteous God. Therefore, <Ro 1:18> says they are people who suppress the truth by their wickedness, as if they are trying their best to push down a spring. They not only use the will of their hearts to suppress the truth, but they also use all kinds of knowledge of the world, such as scientific principles, medicine, psychology, philosophy, etc., and all kinds of temporary pleasures on earth to make their hearts happy and feel comfortable. However, a sinful person is already living in judgement and the fact that he will eventually be judged cannot be changed. In fact, the Bible tells us that the devil who has been judged lives in fear. In their fear, the demons oppose God daily <Jas 2:19>, but humans live in deception instead. Therefore, the more we understand God's words, the more we must walk out of our ignorance. We should know how to draw near to God with confidence. In fact, many Christians do not often draw near to God, and for various reasons, do not like to draw near to God. It could be because of busyness, or guilt, or because of weakness, or environmental temptations, etc. First of all, we must know that when people cannot draw near to God or do not want to draw near to God, that is actually a very serious spiritual problem. Rather we be in the midst of suffering but are willing to call upon the Lord, than for us to be in ease and comfort but are far from the Lord. When a person has no fear before the God who judges all people, has no condemnation in his conscience, and can draw near to God with a sincere heart and full assurance of faith, how great the grace he enjoys! He not only can see the help of God, he also continually enjoys the wisdom from God. Some people say, "I always cannot see God's help, and my life is always without fruits." In fact, have we ever thought that this problem has something to do with us often failing to approach God with confidence? <Ps 42:5> "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Sometimes when we cannot see God’s help, instead of us approaching the Lord with confidence, we become more helpless, and when we become more helpless, the more we look at our own problems. The more we look at our problems, the more we will be accused. The more we are accused, the more we cannot draw near to God with confidence. This is a vicious cycle. <1 Jn 3:21-22> says, "Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him." If this is so, we have only one problem, that is, how can we, who are sinful, draw near to God who is holy and righteous with confidence? It is easy and natural for us to think of our weaknesses and shortfalls. Therefore, these thoughts have become obstacles to us drawing close to God. What answer does the Bible give us in this area?
