If we are being led by the Spirit of God, then fear should not overtake you.

When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ-if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. Romans 8:14-17 tells us “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So, if we can comprehend this, then we can trust in our hearts that God will not leave nor forsake us in our fear ( Deuteronomy 31:6).

But Jesus knew that God's love for Him is beyond any fear that tries to come in. He was in a state of distress and depressed because He knew what was about to happen. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. “Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Jesus felt all of the fears we deal with now, and an example is pointed out in Matthew 26: 36-39: His loves drives, pushes, and casts away all of our tormenting thoughts and fears. How many times does Satan convince you to fear in your life? We fear because we forget that God made us with His love. And when they heard God walking in the garden, they hid ( Genesis 3:10). They quickly began to sew fig leaves together because of the shame of being naked. As soon as she and her husband Adam ate the fruit, they saw that they were naked. For example, In Genesis 3 it talks about how the serpent (Satan), deceives Eve into eating the fruit off the tree of good and evil. In Vincent Word Studies, he states, “Not perfected, as 1 John 4:17 but perfect as the result of having been perfected.” We will not be perfect because of sin, but God chose us because of His perfect love.īut Satan is the one who invites us into fear. The word “perfect”, (teleia), in Strong's Greek 5046 is from telos complete neuter completeness. In James 1:4 it states, “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” What Does Perfect Love Mean? But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. 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. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. “This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." - 1 John 4:18 ESV " There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. Perfect Love Casts Out Fear from 1 John 4:18 But what does this verse mean? Here’s a deeper look at this beloved Scripture verse and the meaning of the passage. The apostle John tells us that God’s love is a perfect love that casts out all fear.
