"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."(1 john 4:17)
Mark 4:38 "…Master, carest thou not that we perish". This verse gives credence to what we're talking about. It tells us the story of how the disciples were agitated amidst a raging storm. Consumed with fear, they cried out to Jesus, at that hour of crisis, that period of turbulence, Jesus was unflustered. He hushed the tempestuous weather to sleep. Mark 4:39, "…he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."He then rebuked His disciples saying, "Where is your
faith?". Faith in what? You may ask, in the Father's love! That was the confidence Jesus had. John 15:9 says, "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."
When you live in the Father’s love, you become fearless
of anything because you know the Father is there with you and in you. That fellowship inspires confidence. You’re conscious that you dwell in His love.1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear...."
