Don't fear those who can kill the body

Luke
Check out Luke 12: 4-7.  Somehow, it's easy to start thinking that the person who can kill the body and send someone to hell might be Satan, and we should be afraid.  But Satan can't send anyone to hell.  Only God does that.  So when Jesus said not to be afraid of those who can only kill the body, Satan is part of that crowd.  Instead, we need to fear God, who can send both body and soul to hell.  But unless we have rejected God, we don't need to fear him in the sense that he might suddenly just send someone to hell.  He will care for us, as this passage goes on to say, and looks after us more than the sparrows.  God will forgive us.  So we don't have anything to fear, except to approach God in awe for his grace and mercy.
