Perfect Love In Christ Cast Out Fear! God Doesn’t Give A Spirit Of Fear, But Love Power And A Sound Mind (2 Timothy 1;7). Little bit long , but I think we all need it, I no I did! Numbers 14:9 (King James Version) Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. When we allow fear to drive us to spiritual rebellion, we take a step toward devastation, not preservation. Perfect love in God drives out fear—and preserves our lives (1 John 4:18). 1 John 4:18 (King James Version) 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. To be transformed into the image of Christ—God’s ultimate goal for us—means to increasingly reflect His loving character in our behavior and attitudes. Therefore if we are not becoming more loving, we have taken a wrong turn somewhere. Love for God is not merely a warm sentiment or a pleasant feeling; it is a living, active force that changes who we are. Jesus Himself forever connected love for God with love for people (Matt. 22:37–40). Only when we try to obey God through our own power do His commandments feel burdensome. When we rely on His Spirit to enable us to do what we can’t, we find great joy, love and obedience. God bless love you all!
