We demonstrate our love for God through our genuine love for His people, as outlined in 1 John 4:20.
Our love for God is evidenced through our love for His people. Even when we may have doubts about our affection for God, a sincere love for fellow believers can reassure us of our connection with Him. According to Winslow, our attachment to other Christians indicates that we share in the divine nature, which empowers us to appreciate and love the saints of God. The Holy Spirit signifies this as a valid source of assurance, making it an anchor for our souls when we face uncertainty regarding our relationship with God.
