How does one experience the love of God in Christ?

Experiencing the love of God in Christ begins with the new birth, where believers are spiritually awakened to the reality of their relationship with God. This transformative experience is initiated by the Holy Spirit, as described in Ephesians 2:4-5, where God’s great love and mercy bring us from death to life. Through the knowledge of God's love, believers are compelled to love others unconditionally and fervently, as exemplified by Jesus. This love is not merely an emotional response; it is an act of the will fueled by a sincere desire for the well-being and salvation of others, creating a bond among the community of believers.
