There is no
fear
in love.
The Greek word for fear here is <i>phobos</i>
from which we get what English word?
Phobia.
There's no phobia, there's no fear
there's no <i>phobos</i>
in love
but perfect love drives out fear.
The Greek for "drives out" or "casts out" here
is a rare verb that
usually only applies to exorcisms.
I love that.
When perfect loves shows up
it performs an exorcism
on our souls and casts out
(Exorcist voice) I say come out of that soul
and casts out
fear.
Fear is exorcized.
It is cast away, it is cast out.
When love shows up
and the more we embrace love fear just leaves.
Why? If we read it it says
"because fear has to do with punishment
but the one who fears is not made perfect in love."
Fear has to do with punishment.
Given the context, the first application would be that
we can be afraid of what happens after death and if that's the case
we're caught in a religious treadmill. Always trying to
please God because we're afraid of God. We're afraid of his judgment.
Hey, remember what we looked at last week in Hebrews
that one of the
one of the things that Jesus came to do was
to rescue us from our slavery to the fear of death.
Remember reading that in Hebrews 2 last week?
He frees us from that.
That slavery to the fear of death thats always
working in the background and
and now here again
he frees us from our fear of
the judgement that is to come.

What Is the Difference Between Varicose Veins and Spider Veins? | Belleville, IL - Duration: 1:04.
Varicose vs. Spider Veins What is the difference between a varicose
vs. spider vein?
A varicose vein is a bulging vein.
It's typically blue, and it's deeper so you see it bulging up out of the skin.
They're usually symptomatic meaning that can cause pain and achiness versus a spider vein
which is closer to the surface of the skin and they're smaller in diameter so a spider
vein maybe one millimeter and usually varicose veins are three or four millimeters.
So the varicose veins are larger, deeper, they bulge out more...usually bulge up, kind
of tenting up the skin.
And the spider veins are more superficial.
The spider veins can ache, and they can kind of burn, but it's not usually as bad as the
varicose veins.

The Trinity is Proof that God is Love - Duration: 1:51.
Andrea says...
"How can God be just love
if he pre-dates humanity? Doesn't love require someone to love first?"
Ah!
What a great question. Yes it does.
Love is
only a concept, a potential concept
if it's not relational.
(gasps) Wow.
How could God be love before he created anyone else?
Listen, you don't have to debate the Trinity with someone
but what you should be able to agree on
if they're one of those people that say
"Yeah, I think God is Love."
They have to logically at least buy in
that if God is love
then this is who he must have been for all eternity before he created anyone else
then God must be internally
relational.
He must always be relating in himself,
or to say, "God is love" those three beautiful words make no sense at all.
You could say God is potentially loving
until he creates someone to become actually loving
but you could not say God's essence is love itself.
He must always be relating
and we call that the Trinity.
Whether or not someone wants to argue the logic of the Trinity
you can just say, "If you believe God is love
you've at least moved to the point of saying that God is internally relational."
Now I think the Trinity helps us understand how that works out
in history.
Trinity or no Trinity
we at least believe that God is internally relational.
So when Jesus comes and is the son of God
yet is also God
it doesn't shock us
it helps validate that God is love.
