The battle between good and evil... (ominous music please--da da da). Who would win in that fight. The meaner, ruthless, most frightening opponent? Nah. Love wins. Good wins. Just like you hoped and dreamed. Can you believe it?
1 John 4:18 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.
Fear is part of the hate side. The tough guys belong to the love side. No fear. Struggling on to the end. That is love. It doesn't falter. It never fails. Evil only fails. It can't win. Think about it. Pray about it. Believe it... it's true.
1 Corinthians 13:8-13 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
