Is fear a sin?

“Fear not “ we are told over and over in the Bible.
“For I am with you always “, do you forget that?

Is it as much as a commandment as love forgive others, as love your neighbors?

We are also taught to fear God's Wrath.   

I think what you are saying is about the lack of faith. As Israel to accept the land God gave them because they feared the giants. It was a matter of faith.

Matthew 8:26
He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.



Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4

Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25


So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
Isaiah 41:13

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
Psalm 118:6


The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6

I agree this is a question of Faith, with faith there is no fear.
