Rev. Andrew C. Wicks III, January 17, 2010
Part of the What Jesus Says about God series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

A lot of people think God is a big mystery but the truth is Jesus Christ unveils the mystery by giving us simple yet powerful descriptions about who God is and what He is like. Join Pastor Wicks for this New Year series as we listen to Jesus tell us about God.

1 John 4:13-18

13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (ESV)
