C.S. Lewis – Page 2 – watercress words by Dr Aletha

“no fear in love”

Author of the popular The Chronicles of Narnia fiction book/movie series, C.S. Lewis was a writer, teacher, and lay theologian. His books on Christian belief are read and quoted widely, years after his death.

from 1 John 4:16-21, English Standard Version Bible

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

We love because he first loved us.

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot loveGod whom he has not seen.

And his commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

The Heart of C.S. Lewis

“CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day.”

He is perhaps best known for his book “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and the others in the Chronicles of Narnia series.

His book Mere Christianity is one of the most powerful apologetics of the Christian faith.

Lewis wrote A Grief Observed after his wife died of cancer just a few years after their marriage. In it he reflects on life, death, and faith.

“I am grateful to Lewis for having the courage to yell, to doubt, to kick at God in angry violence. This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged.”
Madeline L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time
