“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.

1. What is ‘Perfect Love’ All About?
Allowing the manifestation of Holy Spirit into the soul is the only way to
experience the blissful life and love of our Heavenly Father. Below is an
excerpt from a message preached by Rev Chris Oyakhilome. Enjoy!
“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” (1 John 4:18). There’s no
fear whatsoever in perfect love. If your child has ever welcomed you by
jumping on you with his dirty hands, you’ll understand what I mean. Your
child’s action was based on his love for you and excitement to see you; he isn’t
afraid of punishment for he expects you to respond with the same love and
affection. That’s perfect love. There are children who are afraid to get close to
their dad or mum. Such children aren’t growing in love but in fear, because
they’re more conscious of punishment than the parents’ love. But God’s love
can’t be compared with our parents’ love, or the best expression of love we’ve
had from anyone. God is more than a good daddy. “But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us (made us alive) together with Christ…” (Ephesians
2:4-5).
God is rich in mercy. Hallelujah! This scripture should make you shout! The
Bible says that the Lord is good (Psalm 100:5); goodness is His nature. He

2. always has good things for His kids. When you understand that the Father
loves you, you won’t be afraid to come to Him. As far as God is concerned,
you’re a joint heir with Christ, sharing the throne with Jesus. You represent
Him on earth as He represents you in Heaven. Your heavenly Father doesn’t
see you the way you think you are, but according to His Word; He loves you
the same way He loves Jesus. Therefore, if you sin, don’t let it weigh you down.
Tell God about it and say you’re sorry and He’ll forgive you (1 John1:9). Once
you ask for forgiveness, God no longer remembers it. It’s all part of the new
covenant relationship that you have with Him through Christ Jesus.”
Spread the word of God with your friends and family member so they can
acknowledge the love of God.
