Love Displaces Fear of Judgment

Illustration of 1 John 4:18-19 AMP

Illustration of 1 John 4:18-19 AMP -- There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]. We love, because He first loved us.
