fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
perfect love drives out all fear

so iow a progression is suggested, seems to me anyway
I like,,,perfect love drives out all fear.
I'd like to really know this experientially.
Sometimes I let fear take over. It's satanic.

that imo is a natural reaction to imagining a possible future coming true, that we should all pay attention to.
i guess the cure is to stop imagining the future, at least past sundown?

expectations play a part here too i guess,
i consider them only slightly worse than "beliefs" tbh

You believe that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, right?

What do you mean bullseye
expectations and beliefs are part of the hope we have in Jesus
Without it, you may as well be an atheist.
bb said I fear the future.
He's right.
Sometimes I feel comforted by God and sometimes I don't.

You need another lesson.
Our behavior demonstrates our love for God.
Your behavior is not God-like.
Jesus was humble and showed love for everyone he met.
Jesus ALSO did a fair share of scolding from time to time when people disrespected God with their lies and hypocrisy.

You're not Jesus.
Never said I was.
However - YOU are the one who said:
"Your behavior is not God-like.
Jesus was humble and showed love for everyone he met."


YOU brought up Jesus and compared me to Him.

If we're disciples of Christ , we're required to follow Him, which means that we will be transformed
And become more like Him. The word you might recognize is conversion.
You're to become more loving, as Jesus would want.
John 13:35

:rolleyes:

i guess the disconnect comes in whether your beliefs and expectations are being realized today or not, something like that.
If they are all about tomorrow, i am not too interested

P.S.
You said Jesus was not always humble but scolded people, justifying yourself.
Are you also going to Calvary like He did?
