Andrew Wommack Ministries LOVE CONQUERS FEAR John 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? JOHN 9:6-27 This man showed great courage in confronting these religious leaders. Even Peter later backed down for fear of this same group of men (Lk. 22:54-62). Certainly one thing that gave him this boldness was that he knew what Jesus had done for him. And even beyond the physical healing, he knew that Jesus had healed him because He loved him. Its our security in the Lords love for us that gives us the strength to face rejection from others. As Proverbs 28:1 puts it, the righteous are bold as a lion. The antidote for fear of men is a large dose of the love of God. One of the greatest truths of the Bible and one of the hardest to comprehend, is that we are the objects of Gods love. God didnt just pity us or feel some sense of moral obligation to save us. He saved us because of His infinite love for us (Jn. 3:16). An experiential understanding of Gods love is the key to being filled with all the fullness of God (Eph. 3:19). Paul prays in Ephesians 3:19, that we would experience the love of God which passes mere knowledge about it. How can we know the love of God if it passes knowledge? This sounds like a contradiction. Its not. The knowing is experiencing it. The end result of having understanding and experiential knowledge of Gods love is that we will be filled with all the fullness of God. Gods love is the key that opens the door to everything that God is. God is love (1 Jn. 4:8). Its not just a casual acquaintance with Gods love that we need, but an intimate understanding and experiential knowledge of the depths of Gods love. Just as a trees roots provide stability and nourishment for the tree, so our revelation of Gods love is the foundation upon which everything else we receive from God is built.
