Oct. 16: Psalm 115, 2 Kings 7, and 1 John 4:7-21

Again, John talks about how love defines followers of Jesus. Today, he also contrasts that with fear. Fear is the quality of those who are unsure of their future, unable to come to terms with their present, and unclear about that which makes them secure. Jesus promised all of those to us in his Kingdom and the heritage we are included in with his sacrifice. Knowing that, perfect love (his) is vital to driving out fear.
