Dealing with Reality-Part 2

The second idea that highlighted my attention in "Self Confrontation" is the "powerful love of Jesus Christ that disarms fear."

I love this point so much that I'm copying out verbatim: "Christ's love empowers you to be an overwhelming conqueror is any situation of life (Romans 8:35-39), as you exercise your faith in and through Him (1 John 5:4-5)."

Romans 8:35-39, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1 John 5:4-5, "for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."

Lastly, "Perfect love casts out fear."

1 John 4:18, There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment."

I cannot begin to grasp the depth of God's love. He sent Jesus to die for you and for me. What do I have fear? Nothing., except to echo Chris Tomlin's song, "How Great is Our God."

"How Great is Our God, sing with me how Great is our God!"
