Verse of the Day - Day 6

No Fear - Know Love - 1 John 4:18

By , About.com Guide

Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse:

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: No Fear - Know Love

When we're afraid, what do we pray for? Boldness? Courage? Faith? Perhaps we should be praying instead for love--a deeper, abiding knowledge of God's limitless, perfect love.

God's love and fear are incompatible. They cannot co-exist because one repels and expels the other. One translation says "perfect love drives out fear."
