How do we know God commands us to love everyone?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture clearly states that we must love our neighbors and even our enemies (Matthew 5:43-44).

Throughout the Bible, God emphasizes love as a central aspect of His character and the Christian life. In Matthew 5:43-44, Jesus counters the Pharisees' interpretation by asserting that love should extend even to our enemies. He teaches that love is not limited to those who reciprocate kindness but must include those who do not. This is underpinned by God's love towards us, as demonstrated by Christ dying for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:6-8), thus revealing the nature of our calling to love as God loves.
