Theological Quote

Charles Spurgeon on Love's Expelling Power - Traditional (1 John 4:18)

"Perfect love CASTS OUT fear—not gently removes but forcefully expels! Fear involves torment; love brings peace. As we grow in understanding God's love for us, fear diminishes. We love because He first loved us; we are fearless because we are loved." — Charles Spurgeon.
