Perfect Love Casts Out Fear - Wesleyan (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Source: Holiness teaching79 words

Wesley taught entire sanctification—a heart so filled with love that other motives are displaced. "Love is not jealous... not boastful... not proud." These negatives describe what love pushes out. Where perfect love reigns, jealousy, pride, and self-seeking have no room. Phoebe Palmer, Wesleyan holiness leader, described this: "Perfect love makes us patient because impatience is crowded out." 1 Corinthians 13 isn't just behavior modification; it's heart transformation. Is love filling your heart so full that lesser things are displaced?
