GENUINE LOVE KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS! 

GENUINE LOVE KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. . . 16 And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:8, 16. 

God is Love. He’s love definition and the embodiment of love in nature and character. And genuine Love, which is intentional and unconditional, which is of God – KNOWS NO FEAR – for as God is in love in Christ Jesus – so ARE we and ought to be in love in His world and for this world, as it is written: 

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine. 

Love is gracious and nobody ever rejects genuine love of God when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown, which unfortunately is not available to him, and his cohorts from the fall. 

So I asked – HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE? Whatever you feel or think shouldn’t be a reason not to walk and live in the love of God that’s intentional and unconditional, for GENUINE love which is of God is in the human HEART [SPIRIT-BEING], and not in the human HEAD [FLESHLY-RULED or BODILY-RULED]. Love has no characteristics of – fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness, evil and such like in it, except there’s PERVERSION. For it is when the PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough reason to be afraid of living and walking in the genuine love of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and alive and it’s here: it’s graciously and lavishly shared, abundantly poured and spread abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Spirit that is given to us. For our salvation in redemption is born out of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, and it’s an irreversible default embedded as a DNA in us in becoming born of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED out within our HEARTS through the Holy Spirit who was given to us . . . 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own LOVE for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8/Amplified. 

The Perfect [complete, mature and wholesome] love, meaning, God’s genuine love [intentional and unconditional] will cast out the spirit of fear, cowardice and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He can’t offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is, there’s a show up of God’s presence, and there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed or any form of perversion that’s of fleshly ruled in any forms as to sentiments, prejudice or dissimulation. 

JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE IS IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD. 

Check yourself today – IF IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s love. And Be FREE and be BLESSED. Amen.  

Blessed regards in the grace. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Herein is our love MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18. 

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 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]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified). 

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7. 

“For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified). 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT MAN) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a full doctrinal charge centred on 1 John 4:8, 16-18 and Romans 5:5, 8, with the anchor truth: GENUINE LOVE KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS. The message opens by defining God as love itself — the definition, nature, and embodiment of love in character. From this foundation, genuine love is presented as intentional, unconditional, and of God. Because God is love in Christ Jesus, believers are called and ought to walk in that same love in His world and for this world. This is tied directly to 1 John 4:17: “AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.” 

The Core Revelation is that perfect, mature, complete love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18 is emphasised: there is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear involves torment. Fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness, and evil are not characteristics of genuine god-love. They only enter through perversion when the purpose of a thing is misappropriated. The message confronts disappointment and trauma in love with a pastoral question: HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE? The answer is clear: whatever you feel, or think is not reason to abandon love. Genuine love is of God and resides in the human HEART [SPIRIT-BEING], not the human HEAD [FLESHLY-RULED OR BODILY-RULED]. 

The message declares that love is gracious and irresistible. Nobody ever rejects genuine love of God when it shows up. Not even the devil would reject it if he had opportunity, but that opportunity was cut off for him and his cohorts from the fall. The genuine love of God is not theory — it is possible, alive, and here now. It is graciously and lavishly shared, abundantly poured and spread abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given to us, according to Romans 5:5. Salvation itself is born out of God’s love in Christ Jesus, and this love is an irreversible default, embedded as DNA in us when we are born of God in Christ Jesus. 

The message then expands to the evidence and proof of this love. Romans 5:8 shows God commended His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Where genuine love shows up, God’s presence shows up, and there is no room for lust, hate, selfishness, greed, or any form of fleshly perversion such as sentiment, prejudice, or dissimulation. 2 Timothy 1:7 seals the charge: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. 

The closing is an altar call and practical charge. The reader is commanded to check himself/herself today. If in fear, cast it out in God’s love. The promise is freedom and blessing. The benediction pronounces: BE FREE AND BE BLESSED. AMEN. 

Key points drawn from the message: 

• First, God is love by nature and definition. He cannot offer or make you live in fear when you are living and walking in His love.  

• Second, genuine love is intentional and unconditional. It lives in the heart, the spirit-being, and is free from fear, intimidation, and perversion.  

• Third, perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. Perversion only sets in when purpose is misappropriated, but perversion is not reason to reject genuine love. 

•  Fourth, this love is not earned — it is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit and embedded in us at new birth.  

• Fifth, love is gracious and carries God’s presence, leaving no space for fleshly works.  

• Sixth, believers are commanded to mirror Christ: “AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD,” which means walking in boldness, not fear. 

Call to action for every believer: 

Examine yourself today. Identify any fear, timidity, inferiority, or perversion and cast it out immediately by embracing God’s love. Refuse to let past disappointment keep you from walking in love. Choose daily to live and walk in the love of God that is intentional, unconditional, and spirit led. Allow the Holy Spirit to keep His love shed abroad in your heart. Live boldly without fear, knowing that as Christ is, so are you in this world. Amen.
