1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know the Father, because God is love.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Matthew 5:48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Basically exactly what I have been saying to you, yet you have not seen it.
Maybe now you will understand your error?
You show me three verses when I have shown you probably hundreds. Don't base your belief on only three verses. You need to know the OT as well to understand the whole story.
I have read all that before but what I have shown you about being perfect you did not understand. Again, it is Gods love, not your kind of love, they are different but again your are blind in your sin. If you do not follow me you will die in your sin.
John should have been teaching as Jesus and I do. Maybe he did but we have no record he did .Read on about love as the Lord wants us to love and how to be perfect. But you won't understand unless you follow me as I follow Him.
This is what I say as he has said. These words are mine as well;
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.
Live on in in my love.
You will live in my love if you keep my commandments, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and live in his love.... but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.
And since I know that his commandment means eternal life what I say is spoken just as He instructed me."
(Father)I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be One, as we are One,
I in them and you in me, that they may be
brought to perfection as One, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Unless I wash you, you will have no part of my inheritance.
I have given you an example what I have done that‘s what you must do.
Amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Once you know all these things, blessed will you be if you put them into practice.
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and
reveal myself to him."
Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
You talk about love but you do not love me or my Father because you do not keep my words." I know the Lord and I keep His words".Jesus said that also in case you don't know.
Whoever serves me must follow me, where I am, there will my servant be. The Lord will honor whoever serves me.
