How do we know that perfect love casts out fear?

Answered in 1 source

We find assurance in Scripture that perfect love, represented by Christ's love, dispels fear.

The assurance that perfect love casts out fear is grounded in the character of Christ and His sacrifice. The blood and righteousness of Christ, wrought into a believer's life through the Holy Spirit, eradicate the fear of death and judgment. As we grasp the depth of His love, we realize that it is not our works or feelings that secure our standing with God but solely His grace. Such an understanding transforms our hearts, enabling us to experience peace instead of anxiety or fear.
