The Consummation of Love

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that awe may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.  
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

1 John 4:16

God is love - See on I John 4:8 (note). He that dwelleth in love - he who is full of love to God and man is full of God, for God is love; and where such love is, there is God, for he is the fountain and maintainer of it.
