NASB | 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God's judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God's love]. |
Bible Question:
Greetings DairlyLeader5: You wrote, " God opened a window to the future to allow Jesus to look at the difference that his life would make for us and the world." Wouldn't Jesus already have KNOWN that? What kind of anxiety did Jesus have? Please support this statement. mommapbs |
Bible Answer: 1st well go to the scriptures, Mth 29;22-23,. 27;46,. Mk., 10;38-39,. 14;34 thru39,. Luke 22;40 thru 44 ,. john 18;11., Mark 15;34 . In Luke Jesus was under extreme Mental Pressure, vs 44, "And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."The websters new world Dictionary describes Anxiety as "1. a state of being uneasy or worried about what may happen,2.an eager and sightly worried desire;as to do well.". Jesus was the son of God and he had no fear but you still hafe to remember that he was still a flesh and blood man. God sent him an angel to comfort him in vs. 43.Jesus has always been , he had never expierenced pain, loss, or seperation from the Father. This was new to him. Now lets look at Heb. 12;2. Remember that Jesus was in extreme pain and agony. In the old Roman History books you will find out that at an crusification, they always issued a pain killer to the ones being crucified. Jesus never took this , he had to feel every pain for us. So ask yourself this question, if Jesus was concious of every pain as a man, what kept Him on the Cross?, A Vision,or some of us call it a window, Yes Jesus knew the future, but as a suffering man the only thing He felt was pain and the Sorrow of being appart from the Father. Prov.29;18, without a vision my people perish., Mark 15;34, ELOI,ELOI,LAMA SABACH THA NI?When I had my first heart attack, i was not afraid but I was in Great pain, a type of pain that I had never felt before, the helplessness, the pain, I also cryed out to God the same thing that Jesus said, I also was filled with anxiety. God started me saying the 23rd pslm. then I died. Thank God he raised me back to life 24 minutes later in frount of a room full of people. I hope this will give you a little more insight. With love in Christ DL5. |
