PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.1 John 4:18

The Bible talks about perfect love, which casts out fear, but it is hard in this world not to be fearful. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” The ultimate punishment or fear is separation from God. Thankfully, for those who believe in Jesus, that fear has passed.

It is helpful to look at the surrounding verses of 1 John 4 for clues about the meaning.
• Verse 7 tells us, “Love is from God.”
• In verses 8 & 9, we find that “God is love.”
• We are reassured that God loves us in verse 16 and told to rest in His love.
• Finally, in verse 18, perfected love has no fear.

That is a lot of love, but how does that help us? It says a person who is afraid has “not yet grown into love’s complete perfection.” Notice how it says, “not yet grown.” Therefore, there is an element of growth. Perfect in this verse does mean arriving flawless. Instead, it means it is growing towards a goal. In other words, “… full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out ….” There is a way to overcome fear, and it is to have a fully mature love, love that comes from God, the author of love. Or another way to look at it is from The Message’s point of view, “Well-formed love banishes fear.”

Worry is not believing God will get it right and bitterness is believing God got it wrong

HOW CAN OUR LOVE TO BE PERFECT

There is a process to this perfect love. It doesn’t arrive flawless. It grows. And as it expands, it turns out fear or casts fear away. How does it grow and become better and better? 1 JOHN 4 Verses 11, 20 & 21 give us a clue. Loving others is how God perfects love in us. We get to practice,s I have often struggled with this thought. People hurt us. They use and abuse us—how can I possibly love those who hurt me? Only with God’s help. God’s love growing and filling us is how we love others. That doesn’t mean we allow ourselves to be abused or manipulated. Sometimes the most loving thing to do is to call someone on their manipulation. Yet we don’t give up on God and what He is doing through us by loving others.

“Perfected love is the love of God expressing itself in love to each other.”
Was Jesus Ever Afraid?

Thinking through these things, I wanted to know how Jesus dealt with fear. Was Jesus ever afraid? Let’s look at the most fear-inducing thing I can think of ,Jesus’ time in the Garden of Gethsemane right before being taken and crucified. He was facing a horrific death on a cross.

There would be betrayal from some of his most intimate friends, loneliness as they abandoned him, excruciating physical pain and yes, death. Matthew 26:36-46 records that Jesus was sorrowful even to death (verse 38) when facing this future.

I would think that he is struggling with all that is coming up. He could have been afraid, maybe questioning the way things would happen and deep dread, but how did he treat it? He reached out to his friends and asked them to watch and pray with him (verse 36.) Next, He fell on His face and prayed, not just once but three times, asking the Father to choose a different way. However, in the end, he said those powerful words, “Yet, I want your will to be done, not mine.” (Matthew 26:39b NLT) And then he moved forward in giving love to humanity.

Perfect Love Overcomes Fear

We would be conjecturing about Jesus’ exact emotions. However, it was heavy on him. Jesus asked three times for the brutal death to pass from him. His sweat became like blood. This is known as a medical condition called hematidrosis. In other words, his sweat became bloody because of extreme distress, fear, and facing death or torture. Whatever Jesus felt, we can assume it was difficult to accept. And how did Jesus get past this point? In the end, He submitted himself to the Heavenly Father’s plan. He reached out for the company of other believers. Finally, Jesus chose to love others and fulfill the desperately needed sacrifice for sin.

TESTIMONY

I was completely busy in doing documentation works regarding CBS For IBJ Silver jubilee programme. It takes three months to complete detail schedules and programmes details. The day came to start packing the luggage for the programme my mother was in my home during those days. Suddenly she fell down in the bathroom due to high sugar the situation going bad where I could not do anything. We rushed and admitted her in the hospital. She was admitted in ICU.I was fully surrounded with many responsibilities and could not schedule any time for IBJ work. I was totally confused whether I will go or not.

I surrender all my burdens to our
Father JESUS CHRIST.I HAVE A STRONG HOPE THAT GOD MADE ME TO DO ALL SCHEDULES FOR IBJ WILL ALSO MAKE ME TO PRESENT IN IBJ.This is my strong hope.

The Almighty God cured my mother within two days she was discharged from hospital and everything going good.we don’t want to worry about the situations and tribulations the God who called us for the ministry will lead us a successful path.

I was attended IBJ SILVER JUBLIEE PRAYER with my whole family.IT WAS A CELEBRATION OF SALVATION TO ME AND FOR MY FAMILY.
THANK YOU, FATHER
