Why am I afraid of God if God is love?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"You fear God not because God is love, but because your understanding of love is borrowed; when love is truly realized, fear dissolves into the embrace of the divine."
According to Osho, you fear God because your belief that “God is love” is borrowed, not realized; fear and love cannot coexist. Priestly conditioning has painted a punitive, watchful deity to control you. When love is directly experienced, the same energy that fuels fear harmonizes into love, and fear disappears—God, as love, cannot frighten.
You’re scared because you only heard “God is love” but haven’t felt it; fear comes from scary teachings and vanishes when you truly experience love.
