There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Annie had a wonderful understanding come to her the other day…
Only God is perfect love. Only He can cast out fear.
Perfect love casts out fear, right? You and I will never have perfect love on earth. Only God has perfect love. God and His Word, Jesus, can cast the fear out of our lives. This is why we study God’s Word…to let it cleanse us of fear. Jesus, God’s Word, is perfect love. He will lead us into His peace by showing us His power to remove fear from our thinking and lives as He shows us His Love as we trust Him with our lives.
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
Mark
