How do we know love is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Love is essential for salvation as it is the commandment of Christ and evidence of His discipleship.

In the sermon, it is asserted that love is essential for salvation. 1 John 4 indicates that those who do not love do not know God, establishing love as a fundamental characteristic of true faith. Jesus commands His followers to love one another, saying, 'This is my commandment, that ye love one another' (John 15:12). The presence of love among believers serves as evidence of true discipleship, as He noted that 'By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another' (John 13:35). Therefore, love is not merely commendable but is critical for authentic faith and genuine relationship with Christ.
