How does God's love compel us to love others?

In 1 John 4:9-11, we see that God's love is manifested in sending His Son as the propitiation for our sins. Understanding that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) compels us to extend the same grace and mercy to others. The love of God equips us to love not only in word but also in deed and truth (1 John 3:18). Recognizing our unworthiness and yet being loved deeply provides the impetus to reach out and support one another unsparingly. When we truly comprehend the depth of God's love for us, it transforms us into vessels of that love for others, reflecting His character in each interaction.
