How do we know the new commandment is true?

Answered in 1 source

The new commandment to love one another is true in Christ and in believers, demonstrated by His love and presence in them.

The Apostle John emphasizes the truth of the new commandment in 1 John 2:8, noting that it is true in Him and in you. This commandment commands us to love one another as Christ has loved us, establishing a practical and relational foundation for our faith. This love is not merely an ethical obligation but an outflow of the transformative work of Christ within believers. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to fulfill this commandment, reflecting the character of God and the light of the Gospel in their lives.
