In this 9-part series, Michael Youssef walks through the first letter of John to share how life is only at its best through the salvation of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In this compelling message from 1 John 4:17–18, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that true confidence and self-worth are found only in the perfect love of God through Jesus Christ. When a believer understands the unqualified, unchanging love of the Father, fear is driven out, and boldness takes its place—not arrogance, but holy assurance. This divine love gives us courage for today and confidence for the Day of Judgment. Through Christ, we have inherited righteousness, not earned it. This truth should drive us to our knees in gratitude and compel us to live for God’s glory. In a world of fear and confusion, life at its best belongs only to those who are anchored in God’s perfect love.
