Fear

The slaves are motivated by fear. The free are motivated by love. If you are afraid it can only mean one thing: You are worshiping the wrong god.

2/25/11 Fear comes from guilt. While it is true that love dispels fear, fear is not the opposite of love apathy is. Love dispels fear because it dispels guilt. Love dispels guilt because when there is love there is forgiveness. Fear causes two responses fight and flight. All violence is due to fear.Those who seek power seek security. Those who seek security seek release from fear. Bravery is a response to fear that leads to fight. it is not mentioned much in the Bible because a better response

to fear is to dispel the fear through love rather than to resist the fear through bravery.

6/10/11: Those driven by fear primarily seek safety and security. Those driven by love primarily seek freedom.

6/10/11: Fear is what the "absence of love" (i.e. evil) sees when it looks to the future. Guilt is what the "absence of love" sees when it it looks to the past. boredom is what the absence of love experiences in the present. Hope and trust are what love sees when it looks to the future. Forgiveness is what love sees when it looks to the past and joy is what love experiences in the present.
