Perfect Love
To receive the unconditional love of God is to receive God Himself on the inside of you. 1 John 4:8 says that God is love. God is love. That is what He is made of and that’s what He wanted for mankind from the very beginning. But the enemy convinced man to look at himself in the natural realm and judge himself as well as everything else in the natural realm. Man was never created for that. We were created to live on this earth and to walk by faith, in the spirit with God as His child.
There is no fear in perfect love. Verse 18 says that fear has torment. When we walk in fear we walk in darkness. We can’t see what is going on to the left. We can’t see what is going on to the right. We can’t see what’s in front of us.
What you think about and focus on will reproduce itself on the inside of you. Therefore, your thought life can either be food or poison to you. Think about it. Seeds have been planted when you hear or see things and the imagination takes over. If you think about and focus on the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD it will be reproduced on the inside of you. Jesus said if your eye is full of darkness, your whole body would be full of darkness. But if you eye is full of light your whole body will be full of light. How great the light will be or how great the darkness will be is determined by what you focus on inside—what you see [Matthew 6:22-23 paraphrased]. What does God want you to see? He wants you to see His unconditional love—that it truly is unconditional. What condition did you have to meet? All you had to do is believe that you were judged at the cross and all your punishment was nailed there and that Jesus took it for you.
