“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
I John 4:18
“But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?” James 2:20-22
When our hearts are hungry for more, when we’re desperate for just a touch, when we humbly desire for an encounter - not for religious sake - but bcus we love God & love being in His presence, He shows up & meets us, & we’ll never be the same. Bcus He is in us. He is Life itself.
You are nothing better than deceitful hypocrites if you harbour in your minds a single unforgiving thought. There are some sins which may be in the heart, and yet you may be saved, but you cannot be saved unless you are forgiving.
When we follow the desires of our heart, one of the result (there r others like contentious/envy/etc) is dissension - disagreement that leads to discord. Yet this is very normalised & often seen as a natural result. Woah. We can step into dissension without even thinking we are.
