What does the Bible say about perfect love and fear?

Answered in 1 source

1 John 4:18 states that perfect love casts out fear, emphasizing the assurance and security found in God's love.

In 1 John 4, the Apostle John points out that perfect love casts out fear, indicating that fear is often tied to judgment. For believers, the perfect love of God provides a foundation of security and confidence, ultimately allowing them to approach God without fear of condemnation. The understanding here is that God's love is perfect, infinite, and unchanging, which contrasts with the transient nature of human love. This assurance gives believers the courage to face life’s challenges and the day of judgment without fear, for they are secure in God’s love and salvation.
