1John 4:14-19 (AMP)
And [besides] we ourselves have
seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness
that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world. Anyone
who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God
abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his
home] in God. And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by
observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in
and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who
dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells
and continues in him. In this [union and communion with Him] love is
brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have
confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face
Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in
love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love
[a]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear
[b]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid
has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's
complete perfection]. We love Him, because He first loved us.
God's
love is perfect. He has placed that love in our heart for our benefit
and victory. There is no fear, imperfection or any form of darkness in
love. God's love is pure and undefiled, that's why it can over throw and
rule over every kind of darkness. Fear has no place in love. Fear
cannot withstand or resist loves dominion. Love is King. Love is
Almighty. Love has all power and authority. It is so important that we
deepen and cultivate our love union with God. We must seek to know love
in a more deeper way and to experience it's fullness. Wake up every
morning and begin to stir yourself in the love of God. Remind yourself
how much God loves you and seek to grow in that love, everyday.
