1 John 4:17-5:5

1. A Transformed Hope

2. A Transformed Intimacy

3. A Transformed Victory

The love of God allows us to freely love. The love of God transforms us and liberates us from our fears. Instead of selfishly worrying about ourselves, God allows us to have hope, intimacy, and victory so that we can selfless give ourselves to the duty of love. No longer worried or preoccupied by our fears but set free to costly love.

So trust that God so loved us that he gave his Son to die for us. That we would trust that Jesus is the Son of God and that he did come in the flesh, and that he is the Christ. That we would trust that in him we can confidently stand at the day of judgment. That we would trust that in him and have deep and meaningful relationship with those who have been born of God and that we would trust that in him we will overcome the world and that we are conquerors over the evil one. May we be liberated from our fears and may we walk in the gift of a transformed life.
