Title: No Fear in Love: How God’s Love Drives Away Fear
Bible Verse: “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.” – 1 John 4:18 (NIV)
Lesson:
Hello, children! Today, we will learn about fear and how God’s love can drive it away.
What is fear? Fear is a feeling we have when we are afraid of something or someone. We can fear the dark, spiders, or even being alone. Fear can make us feel scared, nervous, and worried.
But did you know that we don’t have to be afraid? God’s love is so powerful that it can drive away fear. In 1 John 4:18, the Bible says, “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.”
God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Jesus showed us what perfect love looks like by sacrificing Himself for us. Because of this, we don’t have to be afraid of punishment or anything else because Jesus paid the price for our sins.
When we put our trust in Jesus and His love for us, we can have peace and not be afraid. This doesn’t mean that we won’t face scary situations, but we can handle them with courage and the knowledge that God is with us.
So, whenever you feel scared or worried, remember that God’s love is greater than fear. Spend time reading the Bible and pray to God for strength and courage. Trust in His love, and He will give you peace and drive away fear.
Let’s pray:
Dear God, thank you for your perfect love that drives away fear. Help us to trust in your love always and not be afraid. Give us peace and courage to face any challenges that come our way. Amen.
