True Christian love is evidenced by selfless actions and genuine concern for fellow believers, rooted in Christ's sacrificial love.
True Christian love can be identified by its fruits, which are acts of service and deep concern for the well-being of others. The apostle Paul illustrates this in his relationship with Epaphroditus, whom he describes as a 'brother, companion in labor, and fellow soldier' (Philippians 2:25). Their bond reflects a supernatural love that arises from their shared faith in Christ. This love is not merely emotional but manifests itself in tangible ways, such as Epaphroditus risking his life to serve Paul while he was imprisoned and in need (Philippians 2:30). This kind of sacrificial love stands as evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers, aligning them with God's will and purpose.
