It is true perfect love casteth out fear, but perfect love is a two way street. God’s love is already perfected. He has met any requirements by giving us his Son as the last and only sacrifice for sin and to show us the way.

What about your love towards God?

Love towards God has some conditions and requirements. Conditions include belief, repentance, and baptism. Requirements include obedience. Jesus said in John 14:15 KJV If ye love me, keep my commandments.

So until you both accept and act in love, fear God.

Matthew 10:28 KJV And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Love is the more excellent way.

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return.- Moulin Rouge 2001
