Summary

The central message is that perfect love completely expels fear, contrasting the fear of punishment with the assurance of God's perfect love. The speaker emphasizes that true faith in God's love, demonstrated by remembering that He gave His Son freely, is the antidote to fear, which the Bible warns will cause people to faint in the last days. Believers are encouraged to keep their focus on Jesus, like looking up to Him rather than being distracted by worldly anxieties.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Why fear comesFear comes when we are not sure of God's love for us, like an adopted child wondering if the father will reject them.

Perfect love casts out fearBeing perfectly convinced of our heavenly father's love means we have no fear of punishment, only a desire not to hurt God.

Doubting the love of GodThe wrong type of fear means a person doubts God's love and is afraid he will punish them for what they did wrong.

God proved His love by giving His SonGod did not spare His own son but freely gave Him up for us, showing that He will freely give us all things.Romans 8:32

If God be for usWhen faith in God's love comes in, fear goes out, because if God is for us, no one can be against us.Romans 8:31

Men will faint from fearThe Bible warns that in the last days, men will faint from fear when thinking of the terrible things happening in the world.Luke 21:26

Straighten up and lift up your headsWhen these trials begin to take place, believers should get rid of fear, lift up their heads, and look to their Heavenly Father.Luke 21:28

Walking on water like PeterLife on earth is uncertain like walking on water, and the moment we look at the waves and circumstances instead of Jesus, we sink.

Worldly reactions to crisisPeople in the world are buying guns out of fear of shortages and break-ins, reacting out of terror rather than love.

Looking to the Father in HeavenThe only thing that will hold believers secure in the last days is resting in the shadow of God's wings.
