How do we know that God's love teaches us to love one another?
Answered in 1 source
We know God's love teaches us to love as it is demonstrated in the gospel and through the life of Christ.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:9, it states that believers are taught of God to love one another, which points to the fact that God's love is both an example and a source of motivation for us. The gospel is central to our understanding of love; as we comprehend Christ's sacrificial love for us, we are inspired to extend that same love to others. Acts 20:35 emphasizes that it is more blessed to give than to receive, underlining that our capacity to love is directly related to the love we have received from God. This demonstrates that true love cannot be manufactured by our own efforts but must emanate from our relationship with Christ.
