God’s Love Drives Out Fear
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 1 John 4:13-21. Let’s go!
1 John 4:13-14 (NIV)
13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
On verses 13-14: In other words, the faith that John and his fellow apostles preach is not merely about believing in abstract ideas. Rather their faith comes with a real experience of God’s Holy Spirit (v13), and their testimony is based on having actually seen this Jesus who was sent from the Father to be the Saviour of the world (v14). In other words, Christian faith is not simply a bunch of philosophical principles and metaphysical ideas. Rather, the Christian faith is grounded in historical fact and is accompanied by a real, life-changing experience of the Holy Spirit.
