In the previous Companions we looked at God the Father and God of Power, so here are some passages showing His Love. The Hebrew word A-H-V means to devote completely to another, so God is completely devoted to YOU.
1 John 4:16b. God is love, and the one who dwells in love dwells in God and God lives in him. 17. By this, love has been made complete among us, so that we would have fearless confidence in the Day of Judgment, because just as that One is, we ourselves are like Him in this world. 18. There is no fear in love but complete love casts fear outside, because fear has to do with punishment, and the one who fears has not been made complete in love.
