GENUINE LOVE\u00a0KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“He that loveth not\u00a0knoweth\u00a0not 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”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:8, 16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God is Love.\u00a0He’s\u00a0love\u00a0definition 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,\u00a0as\u00a0it is\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:17-18\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is gracious and nobody ever rejects\u00a0genuine love of God when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown,\u00a0which unfortunately\u00a0is\u00a0not available to\u00a0him,\u00a0and his cohorts\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So\u00a0I 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\u00a0is\u00a0in\u00a0the human HEART [SPIRIT-BEING], and not in the human HEAD [FLESHLY-RULED or BODILY-RULED].\u00a0Love\u00a0has\u00a0no\u00a0characteristics of\u00a0– fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness, evil and such like in it, except there’s PERVERSION. For\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0when\u00a0the\u00a0PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough\u00a0reason\u00a0to be afraid\u00a0of\u00a0living and walking in the genuine love of God in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and alive and\u00a0it’s\u00a0here:\u00a0it’s\u00a0graciously 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\u00a0it’s\u00a0an irreversible default embedded as a DNA in us in becoming born of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Such hope [in God\u2019s promises] never disappoints us, because God\u2019s 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”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5, 8\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Perfect [complete,\u00a0mature\u00a0and wholesome] love, meaning, God’s genuine love [intentional and unconditional] will cast out the spirit of fear,\u00a0cowardice\u00a0and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He\u00a0can’t\u00a0offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is,\u00a0there’s\u00a0a show up of God’s presence, and there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed or any form of perversion\u00a0that’s\u00a0of\u00a0fleshly ruled\u00a0in any forms as to sentiments,\u00a0prejudice\u00a0or\u00a0dissimulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE\u00a0IS IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Check\u00a0yourself today\u00a0– IF\u00a0IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s love. And Be FREE and be BLESSED. Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blessed regards in the grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:17-18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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\u2019s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God\u2019s love]”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 1:7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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]”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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,\u00a0in due time\u00a0Christ 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\u00a0commendeth\u00a0his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5-8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The message is a full doctrinal charge\u00a0centred\u00a0on\u00a01 John 4:8, 16-18\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Romans 5:5, 8,<\/b>\u00a0with the anchor truth:\u00a0GENUINE LOVE KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS.<\/b>\u00a0The\u00a0message\u00a0opens by defining God as love itself \u2014 the definition, nature, and embodiment of love in character.\u00a0From 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\u00a01 John 4:17<\/b>:\u00a0\u201cAS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Core\u00a0Revelation<\/b>\u00a0is that perfect, mature, complete love casts out fear.\u00a01 John 4:18<\/b>\u00a0is 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:\u00a0HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE?<\/b>\u00a0The answer is clear: whatever you\u00a0feel,\u00a0or think is not reason to abandon love. Genuine love is of God and\u00a0resides\u00a0in the human HEART\u00a0[SPIRIT-BEING], not the human HEAD\u00a0[FLESHLY-RULED OR BODILY-RULED].\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0message\u00a0declares 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\u00a0from the\u00a0fall. The genuine love of God is not theory \u2014 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\u00a0Romans 5:5.<\/b>\u00a0Salvation itself is born out of God\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The message then expands to the evidence and proof of this love.\u00a0Romans 5:8<\/b>\u00a0shows God commended His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Where genuine love shows up, God\u2019s 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.\u00a02 Timothy 1:7<\/b>\u00a0seals the charge: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The closing is an altar call and practical charge. The reader is commanded to check himself\/herself\u00a0today. If in fear, cast it out in God\u2019s love. The promise is freedom and blessing. The benediction pronounces:\u00a0BE FREE AND BE BLESSED. AMEN<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
