1 JOHN 4.19. We love him, because he first loved us.
These words depend on the former words, vers. 17. he delivered this truth; that those that are sound-hearted in love, may have boldness against the day of judgement, this he proves from the resemblance that is between God and a loving heart.
THese words depend on the former words, vers. 17. he delivered this truth; that those that are sound-hearted in love, may have boldnesse against the day of judgement, this he proves from the resemblance that is between God and a loving heart.
2 from the contrariety betwixt fear and love, there is no fear in love, which he proves.
1 From the eff••• of love, perfect love casts out fear. 2 From the •nct of fear, Fear hath torment, therefore love that is a quiet peaceable gr cannot stand with it. 3 From the oundnesse of fear, he that fears is not perfect in love.
