Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
1 John 4:18 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1jn.4.18.NLT
Effect love is what the Father has for us. We may know we deserve judgement but He extends love. What a dichotomy! We can beat ourselves up with guilt, or we can best others up with our judgement but let's look at Jesus. Who did he condemn? The religious leaders. Did He condemn sinners? No, He lovingly forgave them and dined with them.
During our current bushfire disasters in Australia, we have those who condemn others and say the fires are caused by sin.
The ones who can change things are God's people. What can we do? Reach out! Heal our people and our land. Amen!
