He who has seen me has seen the Father; How can you say, show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father abiding in me does his works.”

John 5:19–20

Jesus said “Truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, unless it is something he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

Tricia – Excerpts from AMP

1 John 4:9–10

1 John 4:18

“There is no fear in love... love drives out fear, because fear involves the expectation of divine punishment, so the one who is afraid has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love.”
