Do not be afraid. That is the first phrase from the lips of the angel of the Lord in verse 5, “Do not be afraid.”
If we do a quick BibleGateway search for the words “do not fear,” we will find about 30 verses that include this phrase. It is a common emotion if God encourages so many biblical characters with these words. The most common instance is when God calls the story’s protagonist to a particular mission, and his first sentence is, “don’t be afraid.”
