How do we know that Christians should love their enemies?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus commands love for enemies, teaching that this reflects God's grace towards us.

The command to love our enemies, found in Matthew 5:44, is central to the Christian ethic. Jesus instructs His followers to bless those who persecute them and to pray for those who use them despitefully. This radical love mirrors the love God has shown to us while we were yet sinners. By extending grace even to those who treat us poorly, we validate our faith and exhibit the transformative power of the gospel. This attitude is essential for Christians as it sets them apart from societal norms, pointing others to the truth of Christ and His unmerited grace.
