Today's Devotion: 1 John 4:18 (New International Version) - 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.

We are told not to fear, because God's love is perfect. If we fear, we cannot be made perfect in his love.

Today's Comments: What the verse above did not say that we should tolerate sin- in either others or ourselves. That is not to say that we can be perfect, either. We are made perfect in his love not because of our efforts. No, because of his love. And like him, we should do our best to love others, even if we disagree with them or their sin. I think that we can love our neighbor, but not his sin.
