But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” -Luke 2:10
The angels are going around terrifying folk, so they have to say "pack it in! The stuff we have to tell you is so amazing that you should be celebrating, not scared". God's intention is for us to be joyful, rejoice, celebrate- have that abundant life Jesus speaks of. To quote one of my fave films- Strictly Ballroom- a life lived in fear is a life half lived. That's not what God intends but life in all its fullness.
