Our love for Jesus is evidenced through obedience and a transformed heart, as illustrated in 1 John 4:10.
The sincerity of our love for Jesus is not just about feelings; it manifests through our actions and commitments. In 1 John 4:10, it is declared that love is not only about our love for God but also about His love for us, demonstrated in sending Christ as a propitiation for our sins. This perspective grounds our love in God's initiating grace. True love for Jesus compels us to obey His commandments and feed His sheep, reflecting an understanding that our relationship with Him is active and involves responsibility to care for others. Thus, our love for Jesus must correspond not merely to feelings but to a lifestyle of obedience rooted in His love for us.
