So John connects our struggles with sin and our struggles with love as the fact that we have fear, and we have not received. We are not living in this love from God that pushes out all fear. And that is the good news of the gospel.
You see, the world tells us, ignore your guilt, eliminate your shame, hide your problems, forget your regrets. But the gospel says, no. Come into the light.
Jesus came to undo everything that sin destroyed. And through the cross, our guilt is forgiven, and our shame is removed, and our regrets become testimonies of God's grace, and our relationship with God is restored. We are adopted into God's family, and we are reconciled with one another.
