Your Authority

First John 4:13 states that "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as He is, so are we in this world."

Holy smoke. Did you catch that? This is possibly the most amazing, most fear smashing, guilt defeating statement statement anywhere ever.

Do you think that God ever got mad at Jesus? Do you think that Jesus was ever afraid of His Father?

Was Jesus afraid of the devil?

No. The answer to all of these questions is NO... and neither should you be!

Why?
BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE YOU IN THIS WORLD.

You, as a child of God, with a new nature created in the nature of Christ, are just like Jesus. All His authority, all His love, all of HIM. WHO HE IS, His nature, IS NOW YOUR NATURE.

We have no business ever being afraid of God again. Ever.
