1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.”
“If men and women love God, there is a sense of awe, a holiness, about it. There is true reverence in it. Reverence and Godly fear is a very different thing from ‘this fear that has torment,’ a fear that cringes and trembles. That is the thing which perfect love drives out.
The Christian should be free from that fear. How does the Christian become free? Christians realize the love of God that comes to them in Jesus Christ, and the work of Christ for them. Also, they realize they are a partaker of the divine nature and that God Himself has come to dwell in them, and therefore, they are like God.
Current Study:
Ecclesiastes: a Sermon Series by R.W. Glenn
Our new home in Minnesota led us to our new church, Redeemer Bible Church, pastored by Bob Glenn. We began attending a few messages after Pastor Bob began a study of Ecclesiastes. I compile my notes on each sermon to study how the New Testament answers the questions and difficulties of life that are adressed in Ecclesiastes.
