How do we know that not loving Christ is a serious sin?

Answered in 1 source

The severity of not loving Christ is highlighted by Paul's declaration that such a person deserves to be cursed by God.

Not loving the Lord Jesus Christ is deemed the most unconscionable sin because it represents a willful rejection of the highest expression of goodness and love. Paul’s assertion in 1 Corinthians 16:22—that the one who doesn't love Christ should be anathema—underscores the seriousness with which this sin is regarded. It highlights the reality that outside of love for Christ, there is no salvation or hope, as true love for Him is integral to faith. Furthermore, it acknowledges the wickedness of failing to respond positively to the one who sacrificed everything for our salvation, as well as the eternal consequences of such rejection. The emphasis on loving Jesus is not mere sentimentalism; it is a profound theological truth about our relationship with the Savior.
