scripture
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

application
There are many points that we can list for applying to our lives from 1 John 4:7-21.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%204:18&version=NIV
1) We ought to love because God is love.
2) When we act unloving, we are denying our knowledge of God.
3) As God expresses love, without prerequisite, we too should express love.
4) God embodies us when we love others.
5) As the Father, Son, and Spirit are of one mind in their love, we too should focus our minds toward loving one another.
6) God's love redeems people.
7) Love preserves us while we live in this world.
8) Fear leads to exclusion, while love practices inclusion.
9) We are able to extend love to others because God has extended love to us.
10) Love is the fruit of a relationship with God.
11) Acting in unloving ways questions how well a person understands the love of God.
12) Loving God while not loving others is impossible.
