How do we know that loving others is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Loving others is essential for Christians as it reflects our conversion and evidence of being children of God (1 John 3:10).

The importance of love in the Christian life is underscored by Scripture, where it is shown to be the defining characteristic of true believers. In 1 John 3:10, we see that those who do not show love do not belong to God. A lack of love not only reflects an absence of transformation but also suggests that one has not yet received the Holy Spirit. As believers in Christ, we are called to a higher standard of conduct that goes beyond societal norms; we are to embody a spirit of love and charity that stands in contrast to worldly behavior. Our ability to love others genuinely—especially those who may be difficult to love—serves as a testimony of our faith.
