We used to be afraid of a tree that loomed precariously over the kids’ bedrooms. Now that we cut it down, we don’t fear the storms that rage. God cut down our tree of judgment and hung Jesus on it, for us! I’m Him, there is no fear!
Here’s a quick daily devotional video that explains it. (If you’re receiving this as an email, click on the link to view it.)
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:15-19 ESV
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:1 NLT
