1 John 4:7-21
God’s LOVE and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And 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 them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 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.
19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
John 14:6-7
Jesus Says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Panic and fear do not tell us much about Truth...And panic and fear's friend anger also does not tell us much about Truth...So do not expect much Truth from panic or fear or anger...So be careful when you are in fear and panic and anger your path will be lead to different journeys and thoughts that take you away from the Truth...
On the other hand love drives out fear...Love helps us find Truth...Love follows Truth...And Truth follows Light and not the darkness...Truth is very valuable...The closer one gets to Absolute Truth the more abundant his or her life is...There is no fear in love...And perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with negative thoughts and negative emotions...The one who panics and fears is not made perfect in love...
God is LOVE...Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them...Those who love, follow the Father and His Son...So let us follow the One who calls Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life...We will get to His Father, when we follow Him...So we learn better to follow the Truth and LOVE and watch out and are on guard for the times of panic and fear...
