1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we 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 casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19
We love him, because he first loved us.
20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Glenda, what is the context of your question in 1st John 4:18? The subject that is being taught (starts in verse 4:7) is that God is love in vs 4:18 it simply means that there is no fear in love for our Father and there is no such thing as fear nor room for doubt in and through God AND NEVER MAKE A DECISION BASED ON FEAR. Anyone that is using fear to cause a reaction is of satan, not God. God is in charge but He expects us to use our common sense and spiritual discernment to navigate through these chaotic times.

God is love and if you have accepted Jesus in your heart God the Father, God the son and God the holy spirit will come and dwell in your heart.

and keep you in perfect peace This means that you will be with love in your heart which cannot torment you because God is love. you will be made perfect as a new creation because his spirit dwells in us. And This happens when you repent and believe in him.

1 john 4:13

13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

Also, it's important to remember that Jesus is the light

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

Pray and ask for more understanding God is faithful to shows us amen
