Faith. Position. Purpose. The love of God that John says changes our lives is first rooted in the faith that Jesus died on the cross and took our place. He showed us mercy! Second, the love of God gives us confidence knowing that our position is with Christ, seated at the right hand of the God where he makes intercession for us and counters the lies of the enemy. Third, our purpose is to do God's will while we are here and tell others about the love of God. When we are changed by the love of God, fear cannot co-exist.
