1 John 4:16-21 Sermon: The Cross-Centered Cure for Fear!

God’s perfect love, shown through Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death for sinners, removes the fear of judgment and assures believers of their salvation and standing before God. Those who have experienced this love are called not only to trust in it but also to demonstrate it by loving others, especially fellow Christians. John emphasizes that genuine love for God is inseparable from loving others, and to neglect this command is to deny the truth of one’s faith.
