Love Greater Than Fear

1 John 4:18 
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
A believer is made perfect in love, we were born into the Love of God. John 3:16 (For God So love the world..) A believer who still lives in worries everyday, how disapproved he will be in God’s presence when he prays and also, living in fear of what the future is, has not fully understand the love of God.

Fear is not of God, God exchanges that fear in our heart and replaced it with love. The Love of God was Christ Sacrifice for us, so that we freely approach him.. Romans 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, in verse 5, Paul says, the Love of God has been shed abroad in our heart.
The fear of approaching God has been bridged by the Sacrifice of Christ. We come boldly into his presence by His blood. Also, understand that fear is a spirit, but God overthrew it with the Spirit of love and sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7.

Further understand that you are God’s Son, (Rom 8:12-14, Gal 4:6) he hath said he will never leave nor forsake you(heb 13:5) Hence Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:17-19  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

So, whenever you feel unworthy to approach God, you have a fearful expectation Just renew your mind in God’s Love. FOR PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR… The Love we are born into is Perfect.
