God's Love and Ours

7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only SonOr his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice forOr as the one who would turn aside his wrath, taking away our sins.11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.

18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

19We love because he first loved us.20If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

With absolute unconditional selfless love from God, there is nothing to be afraid of. The 'worst' that can happen is that you could die for God, or you can die for someone else, either of which is an expression of God's selfless love.

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. Money can buy all the riches in the world but except PEACE.

There is no fear in Love.Fear causes suspicion and suspicion leads to hatred and hatred leads to persecution and persecution leads to civil unrest and civil unrest leads to wars.Perfect love casts out fear and leads to harmony and harmony leads to peace. Lord teach me to Love.

Fear of the Lord is good, not something to be ashamed of. When we fear God, we are humbled before our creator, leading to holy, righteous lives.
