How do we know that agape love is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Agape love is essential for Christians as it defines our relationship with God and one another, reflecting God's love for us.

Agape love is crucial for Christians as it is the very bond that unites believers and reflects our relationship with God. Romans 12:10 instructs believers to cherish one another in brotherly love, indicating that this divine love is foundational to our identity as children of God. Furthermore, the Apostle John emphasizes that God is love (1 John 4:8), and our understanding of His character compels us to love one another. This love transcends personal feelings and reflects a commitment grounded in the truth of the gospel, leading us to act out of love rather than selfishness or self-interest. Without this godly love, our actions and religious practices are rendered meaningless.
