1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love

1 John 4:18 (New International Version, ©2010)


18 There 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.

A most beautiful passage.

A lot of times we read about domestic abuse and other so called acts of love. It is so beyond our powers of understanding that there is a love so overwhelming that it over comes all fears. Fear of abuse, pain, loss, rejection, persecution...

Who else to teach us love but God...through his wondrous works you can learn the true meaning of love...never through fear.
