John explains how God's perfect love drives out all fear.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love______ out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
— Micah 6:8 (NIV)
