Is it fear that dirves us or love that lights our way?

Answer 1

both

Answer 2

Both. Fear drives us to do certain things as demonstrated by the "fight or flight response." We either face what's coming at us or we run away from it. Love makes us do things as well. Many of the people who work in emergency services or medicine do so as a result of their love for others (and some because they lost a loved one for one reason or another and are trying to control that aspect of things).

Answer 3

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim. 1:6–7.)

Who among us can say that he or she has not felt fear? I know of no one who has been entirely spared. Some, of course, experience fear to a greater degree than do others. Some are able to rise above it quickly, but others are trapped and pulled down by it and even driven to defeat. We suffer from the fear of ridicule, the fear of failure, the fear of loneliness, the fear of ignorance. Some fear the present, some the future. Some carry the burden of sin and would give almost anything to unshackle themselves from those burdens but fear to change their lives. Let us recognize that fear comes not of God, but rather that this gnawing, destructive element comes from the adversary of truth and righteousness. Fear is the antithesis of faith. It is corrosive in its effects, even deadly.

Answer 4

Why limit it to these two options? I think there are many things which compel us to act. Between your two options, though, both can be pretty strong motivators, but I find that fear is generally more paralyzing and love is more empowering.

Answer 5

Love lights our way.

And unfortunately fear drive us to not see it.
