What are you afraid of? Perfect Love casts out fear.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 4:
7 Those who are Loved by God, let His Love continually pour from you to one another, because God is Love. Everyone who Loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of Him. 8 The one who doesn’t Love has yet to know God, for God is Love. 9 The light of God’s Love shined within us when He sent His matchless Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 This is Love: He Loved us long before we Loved Him. It was His Love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins.
FATHER’S Love is intertwined in our books so let us pursue the highest revelation of Love in our walk. We should assess each day to determine if we truly walked in Love or let our soul take a shot at someone who wronged us in some way.
11 Delightfully Loved ones, if He Loved us with such tremendous Love, then “Loving one another” should be our way of life! 12 No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor. But if we Love one another, God makes His permanent home in us, and we make our permanent home in Him, and His Love is brought to its full expression in us. 13 And He has given us his Spirit within us so that we can have the assurance that He lives in us and that we live in Him.
As was consistently walk in Love, FATHER makes HIS permanent home in us. What a commitment! Let us not withhold Love from anyone whom we come in contact.
14 Moreover, we have seen with our own eyes and can testify to the Truth that Father God has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. 16 We have come into an intimate experience with God’s Love, and we trust in the Love He has for us.
God is Love! Those who are living in Love are living in God, and God lives through them. 17 By living in God, Love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world. 18 Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But Love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached Love’s perfection. 19 Our Love for others is our grateful response to the Love God first demonstrated to us.
Whatever the world dishes out is not a concern to those who fully walk in Love. We will fearlessly face the day of judgment rather than look to be removed from it. I will continue to spread the Gospel until FATHER sees fit to remove me from the scene. There is no failure in spreading the Gospel. Failure is only experienced by those who are unwilling to listen and accept the Gospel in their lives.
20 Anyone can say, “I Love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t Love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly Love God, whom you can’t see? 21 For He has given us this command: whoever Loves God must also demonstrate Love to others.
Let no hatred be found among us. We are to Love our enemies as well as our brothers and sisters. Our enemies are simply blinded to the Truth. Let us pray that they see the light before the fullness of their judgment arrives.
