How do we know love is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Genuine love is evidenced by actions that reflect Paul’s teachings on love, as described in 1 John 3:14.

Genuine love is demonstrated through actions rather than mere words, as seen in 1 John 3:14, where love for others indicates a move from death to life. It is a supernatural love resulting from being born of God. This love manifests in keeping God's commandments and loving one another. The lack of genuine love, such as indifference to a brother in need, suggests a deficiency in one’s relationship with God, who is the source of all true love. In essence, our actions towards others reveal the authenticity of our love for God.
