God Is Love
7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.8Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.9In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.10In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.12No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.13By this we know that we abide 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.15Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.16So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.17By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
18There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
19We love because he first loved us.20If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannotSome manuscripts how can he love God whom he has not seen.21And this commandment we have from him: 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.

"...he who fears has not been made perfect in love," how true that is and yet how human. Perhaps that is why Jesus says Be not afraid so often, and he greets his disciples with these words after his resurrection.

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.
