Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 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. We love Him because He first loved us.
1 John 4:17-19 (NKJV)
CG Discussion Questions:
1. What are the fears you have that are currently tormenting you mentally, emotionally or physically? What do you picture hell to be like and should you be in fear for the day of judgment before God?
(1 John 4:17-19; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:14-15)
2. What does perfect love mean for you and how have you experienced Agape love from God in your life? Discuss how having peace with God can help you deal with all kinds of fear you face in life and how can you extend the perfect love of God that is graciously given to us towards people who are imperfect around us.
(1 John 4:18a; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13-14; Romans 5:1)
3. Contrast what is good and what is evil to you by referring to the closeness, peace and God’s presence. Discuss how we ought not to be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good.
(Psalm 73:25-28; John 14:27; Romans 12:21)
