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

Answered in 2 sources

God’s love transforms us and empowers us to love others sincerely and unconditionally.

The transformation that comes from experiencing God’s love in our lives equips us to extend that same love to others. This truth is emphasized in 1 John 4:11, which states, 'Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.' When we understand the extent of God's grace and mercy towards us, it compels us to share that same love with our brothers and sisters. Peter explains in 1 Peter 1:23 that we are born again through the incorruptible word of God, leading to genuine love for the brethren and fulfilling Christ’s command to love one another fervently.
