AN EXAMINATION OF CHRISTIAN SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF PSALM 91

Akinwumi, Olatunji Samuel

Abstract

The basic problem confronting the vast majority of people in the world today is insecurity. The search for security is therefore a perennial preoccupation of the human heart. Man at all time wants to be secured and protected. It is in view of this that the paper examines the problem of insecurity from the Psalmist's purview. Being a historical study, the paper employs historical method in its analysis. The findings of this work however reveal that man has been created for companionship with God and until this fellowship of spirit is established, he is restless and insecure. The ever-present security of God can be enjoyed by Christians, according to the Psalmist, when they put their absolute trust in God.

Key words: Insecurity, Spiritual, Problem, Psalmist, Companionship, Fellowship.
