Love is central to Christian doctrine, as exemplified in Jesus' teachings and the Apostle Paul's letters, underpinning all moral obligations.
Love is indispensable in the Christian faith. As stated in Romans 13:10, love is the fulfillment of the law, which emphasizes relationships with God and others. The Apostle John reinforces this in 1 John 4:7-8, where he affirms that love is of God and that those who love are born of God. This indicates that genuine Christian identity and fellowship are rooted in a love that originates from God’s grace, indicating its critical role in the life of a believer.
