How does love define a Christian according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Love is the defining trait of a Christian, marking them as disciples of Jesus.

In John 13:34-35, Jesus provides a new commandment to His disciples, instructing them to love one another as He has loved them. This love is not just an external action but a reflection of the inner work of the Holy Spirit in believers. It is through this genuine and selfless love that Christians are recognized as disciples. The early church was notorious for their love for one another, which served as a testament to the transformative power of Christ in their lives. Thus, love becomes both the evidence of our faith and the badge of our identity as God's redeemed people.
