In the next verse condescending to our weakness He comes down to the level of what is purely subjective.

Love begets love, and accordingly our love, that which His love has evolved, is here touched on. But does the love which is perfect in Him who is divine produce perfection of love in us who are human? Notice then three uses of the word "perfect.

It is not said, however, that our love is not perfect true enough, and hopelessly true , but that if we have fear we are not perfected in love; that is, in His. This, however, if true, is not hopelessly so; for our normal state is, that we are perfected in His love. Love and fear are incompatible, being essentially contrary in character. So long as both dwell in the heart there is distress of spirit or torment; for contending forces strive for mastery. The apostle seeks to strengthen our souls in the one that the other may be expelled.

In other words, the Spirit of God educates our souls into so perfect a sense of the divine love that fear shall lose its place, being cast out.

The other absolute thing in verse 17 is, that as Christ is, so are we in this world. The former was an absolute fact; viz. God is love, and His love to us-ward is absolutely and essentially perfect. Love us less than He does He will not, and more than He does He could not.

Nor is this love merely a quality, or even the essence of His nature only, but an active principle.
