“Fear of the Lord: With this gift....”
Fear is not a good choice of words. Reverence would be a better choice as the Holy Spirit casts out “fear.” Fear and God’s Love cannot exist in the same space.
It is only when you understand that your life is on the balance, and you are not in control that you can understand a small part of Gods love and mercy.
You do not live in the fear but it is WISE to visit it on occasion.
Your words:
“Fear and God’s Love cannot exist in the same space.”
What does God say on the matter?
1 John 4
“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 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.”
