Love overcomes fear.

You see the flames engulfing the burning building, and then you see a hysterical mother, screaming that her baby is inside the building. Human instinct has us running into the building to save the baby. Love overcomes fear. Fear isn’t even a thought; getting the baby out of the fire consumes us.

Let’s take the above scenario in a different light. What would happen if that same burning building contained your worst enemy? What if it was someone that had hurt you in the past? Would you still run into the building to save him/her?

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.”

The Bible says that God is love, and in God, there is no fear.

Fear has to do with punishment. There is a day of judgment coming. But, if you are a Christian and know the love of God, then you have no fear of judgment.

The person who rejects Jesus is the one who should be scared.

The key to overcoming fear is total and complete trust in God.

Trust God. Refuse to give into fear. Love others - no matter their flaws or what they’ve done to you. After all, you were once a sinner, and Jesus loves you.
