We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 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 4:16-18 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1jn.4.16-18.NLT
We can trust that there is no judgement in God's love. This is wildly wonderful! Because my God sees me through the perfect sacrifice of His Son, who paid for all sin, I am free from His judgement.
This freedom is not so I can sin and make a fool of my saviour's sacrifice but, so that I can live free from fear if I do make a mistake. Repentance is my gift from Him. I greatly cherish repentance. It re-unites me with His love. Amen!
