LOVE OVER FEAR

[DR. ROY KENNEDY FARLEY JR.]

FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF SOUND MIND 2 TIMOTHY 1:7
HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE 1 JOHN 4:8

HE THAT FEARETH IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE 1 JOHN 4: 18

THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE
FEAR HATH TORMENT 1 JOHN 4:18

BELOVED IF GOD LOVE US WE OUGHT ALSO LOVE ONE ANOITHER 1 JOHN 4: 11
THE HIGH ESTEEM THAT GOD HAS FOR HIS CHILDREN AND THE HIGH REGARD WHICH THEY,IN TURN, SHOULD HAVE FOR HIM AND OTHER PEOPLE.BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF REFERENCES TO LOVE IN THE BIBLE IT IS CERTAINLY THE MOST ,I FEEL, REMARKABLE BOOK OF LOVE IN THE WORLD. IT RECORDS THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER WRITTEN-GOD`S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR US THAT SENT HIS SON TO DIE ON THE CROSS{JOHN 3;16; 1JOHN 4:10}
LOVE IS NOT ONLY ONE OF GOD`S ATTRIBUTES; IT IS ALSO AN ESSENTIAL PART OF HIS NATURE.{DEUT 7:7-8},"GOD IS LOVE"
WE ARE TO LOVE OUR ENEMY,;
TWO DISTNCT GREEK WORDS MEANING"TO LOVE" APPEAR IN THE BIBLE. THE WORD PHILEO MEANS "TO HAVE ARDENT AFFECTION AND FEELING"-A TYPE OF IMPULSIVE LOVE., THE OTHER WORD AGAPAO MEANS HAVE HIGH ESTEEM OR "HIGH REGARD" IN THE MEMORABLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN JESUS AND PETER THERE IS A PLAY ON THOSE WORDS{JOHN 21: 15-17}.........THE WARM WORD AGAPE IS THE CHARACTERISTIC TERM OF CHRISTIANITY.
1. AGAPE LOVE INDICATES THE NATURE OF THE LOVE OF GOD TOWARD HIS BELOVED SON{JOHN17:26}TOWARD THE HUMAN RACE{JOHN 3:16:ROM.5: 8 } AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST {JOHN 14: 21}
2.AGAPE LOVE CONVEYS GOD`S WILL TO HIS CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD ONEANOTHER,LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER EVEEN OUR ENEMIES WAS A PROOF TO THE WORLD OF TRUE DISCIPLESHIP{JOHN 13:34-35}.................................
3. AGAPE LOVE ALSO DISPLAYS THE TRUE NATURE OF OUR GOD{1 JOHN 4:8 LOVE CAN BE KNOWN ONLY FOR ITS ACTION IT PROMPTS, AS SEEN IN GOD`S LOVE IN THE GIFT OF HIS SON {1 JOHN 4:9-10} LOVE FOUND IT`S PERFECT EXPRESSION IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,CHRISTIAN LOVE IS THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRITOF JESUS............GAL. 5:22
IT IS BECAUSE OF HIS EMMACULENT LOVE THAT HE AROSE ,WITH ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH IN HIS MAJESTIC HAND!!!!
