Perfect Love

Listen to 1 John Chapter 3 & 4
or read "Love One Another"

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 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. 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.

We love because he first loved us. If we say we love God yet hate a brother or sister, we are liars. For if we do not love a fellow believer, whom we have seen, we cannot love God, whom we have not seen. And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love one another.
God created humans with all the complexity anyone could ever imagine. Actually it is beyond our imagination. God created us in his image with the incredible capacity to love. This capacity to love and be loved is directly from God. GOD IS LOVE. A relationship with God is based wholly and completely on love. This relationship is possible only because of a great act of love by God. An act symbolized in the cross. An act by God that sprang from the heart of who God is: LOVE. An act that changed everything. An act that is perfect love. An act that is the perfect example of love. An act of love that has the power to push fear away.
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. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
