~John 4:18
My ex sent this to me!
Thank you so much!What is this mean? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
i think it means that in love you shouldnt have fear because you have so much trust in the other persong that all of the fear is expelled, you shouldnt have trouble doing things with him/her that you would be embarraced to do with just average friends. Fear has to do with punishment because if you do somthing wrong you know that you will be punished because you loved one will have forgivness and understanding to take what ever life throws you way.
there fore if you have fear
you dont truely love
hope that makes sence to youWhat is this mean? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
In dealing with the Bible - always see what the other verses say -- before verses - and after verses. Here is the next verse:
19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, ';I love God,'; yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
It means that if we truly love God - then we have to love our brother, too.
The second greatest Commandment is to love each other.
Fear is a spirit which is not of God. God is love.
However -- it kinda sounds like your ex has another meaning which he is trying to relay to you.
Well, it's easy and complicated at the same time, but if you broaden your mind a little you'll get it......
This is not just talking about love as in love between a woman and man (being in love). It's talking about ALL love. There are all kinds of commandments about love in the bible. Love thy neighbor. A man should love his wife as he loves himself. Love the Lord with all your heart.
Why is it that we don't love our neighbor ; or find it hard to? Because of the possibility being ridiculed, rejected and worse yet, used and abused. SO we don't fully love our neighbor because we are afraid. Divorce happens when we don't love each other as we love ourselves. ( I have faults and shortcomings but I love me, I accept my limitations, but if a man dare project all his shortcomings on me and try to limit me....I won't love him as I do myself because I have not rooted that love in the biblical principal of marital love).
The bible teaches that there is but one perfect love. The love of Jesus Christ. And through his sacrifice he made love perfect for us as well. We need not fear our neighbor using and abusing us if we love him.....because the bible also lays out the consequence of harming a 'child of God'. SO in that aspect and because of God's promise to avenge we have no reason to fear.
Now to address the fact that your ex sent this to you....... this is a radical Christian manipulation tactic. DON'T Fall for it. He seems to be using the bible to tell you that you don't have to be afraid of him. But, by experience, life tells us that a person who finds the needs to try and convince you that you don't need to be afraid has probably already given you reason to be afraid. The bible is meant for PERSONAL guidance.......not girlfriend guidance. It's meant for EACH person to use to make a personal relationship with GOD and live a better life, be a better person and benefit from the blessing promised to obedient children. I think that any person who tries to use the bible for their own personal intentions are walking on dangerous ground. God also said in the bible that He would not be mocked, and that's just what this kind of tactic is.
Steer clear of this guy.
It has to do with love of god and has NO applicability to human relationships.
Everyone can give you an answer as to what this means. But really the thing here is what your ex thought it meant when he sent it to you? Did you dump him? Because reading it and connecting it with a past relationship to me would mean that he thinks you are afreaid to be with him thats why you dumped him but you two are perfect together and he can be the one to make you not afraid anymore. And then if you are still afraid then let him go. He might be saying you just have to give him a chance to let him be the one to ';cast the fear out'; and if he fails then you are right to dump him. Just my opinion.
This verse is saying if you have perfected love you will have no fear and you will not seek punishment.
you do not get scared when you're in love. But when love is perfect between 2 people, you get scared. But fear has to do with consequences. and whoever gets scared has not gotten better at love. Hope this helps you!
Love is safe and nurturing and when you find it you wont be afraid of being hurt/rejected anymore-for true love is unconditional! Perfect love loves all of you, the good %26amp; the bad; your loved no matter what and aren't afraid of being abandoned for bad behavior or sin!
It means you should not fear love and perfect love makes you secure and safe. You should only have fear when punished and if you fear anything then you have not completely accepted and understood perfect love. This means God has perfect love for us and we should not fear anything because Jesus died for our sins and if we fear we do not understand God's love for us.
i think it means that those who dont no how 2 love are fearful of it and their punishment is 2 never find their one true love!
That love is unconditional, love does for fear what it doesn't know.
says he has turned into a bible thumper.
ayfr
as i understand it, he may be expressing his feeling towards you in the form of this quote by letting you know that he is not scared to tell you how he feels; that he is in love with you.
God loves you and you should not fear Him but at the same time fear him (show great respect to him). becuz the human hind relates fear with punishment if you fear God the right way you will experince the real love of the world
It means that if you truly love, you will not be afraid...
Some of the fears that would show signs that you are not FULLY AND COMPLETELY in love would be:
%26gt;Fear of loosing the other person (if its full on love, you know you'll be together forever)
%26gt;Fear of troubles in life (your love should be there to help you and stop the fear)
%26gt;Fear of the future (knowing that you have your love should be enough to make you happy for the future ahead of you)
Not to say that you can't be in love and still be afraid... but at a certain point, love should conquer those fears....
seeing how your ex sent it to you.... i would guess that he's not quite over you... and that he truly believes you will get back together...
either that or he misinterpreted the text....
It is a good verse but be wary of people that use quotes when they have threatened a police intervention.
it's a Bible verse, so who knows, the whole thing talks in riddles anyway, but here's what I think it means. Perfect love doesn't cause fear in either person.
