"God is Love. Whoever lives in Love lives in God, and God in him. In this way Love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in Love. But perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love."- 1 John 4: 16-18
Last night at church we talked about fear being a sin. It really made sense because if you trust God with every aspect of your life, you should never be afraid because its in His hands. Last night when i was laying in bed i was thinking about how people view christianity, and i think people have a lot of misconceptions. It seems that people who i have talked to who arent christians think of it as a set of rules you have to abide by and it ties you down, and makes you follow them. But i see it more as liberation. being free from worrying about the problems of the world cause you know God has it under control, and clearing your heart of all fear and anxiety and anger and what not to make room for love and faith. Whether or not youre ideas are positive, i wanna know what you guys think about christianity?
