There is no fear in love

John is the disciple most beloved by Jesus. He is the author of the Gospel of John and the letter 1 John. In his texts speaks frecuently about the nature of love. For this author to know God is "love". He expresses: "Whoever does not love does not know god, because God is charity" 1 John 4:8; and, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear", 1 John 4:18.
We can extend the text in another way; we cannot attribute imperfections to God. God is the origine of the perfections that we see in the universe, explains Thomas Aquinas. Then he adds: "God is love wihout passions". The fear is an imperfection of the soul. The love as spiritual gift of God (Charity), is the love free from fear, free from the sin and the punishment. Remember the difference between passions and attachments. The hope and the joy are moviments of the spirit and guide men towards the good; instead the fear and the shame (passions) for example, are movement of the soul and guide men to evil. A practical case of Charity, is the parable of the Prodigal Son, Luke 15:11-32.
