“At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.” John 14:20
The Word of God clearly proclaims that we dwell in Love and that God dwells in us, and since God now dwells within us, our love is made perfect. “.. God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us." 1 John 4:12 Our love is not perfected because of our own actions, it’s perfected because God is in us. People who possess the love of God, who love perfectly, don’t get there by practice; they get there by God abiding in them, and the Light of God’s love drives out the darkness of carnal hate. We are strong to love by the power of God’s might that is within us and God doesn’t need practice to love! We love because Jesus is within us causing us to love! We can love because we are born of love; the same love that bore Jesus has bore us! Through Christ we have ceased from our own labors and the perfect love of our Father has perfected us as it perfected our Lord and Savior, Jesus! We are new creatures in Christ, all of our old has passed away and behold everything has become new for us. These aren’t just catchy phrases meant to motivate us to a higher walk, they are the absolute Truth that has set us free! The love of our Father is so perfect and so strong that it has perfected us.
