How does the Bible define true love?

Answered in 1 source

True love is defined by a commitment to obey God's commandments, which arise from the love He has shown us.

According to 1 John 5:3, 'For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.' True love for God manifests in obedience and a desire to fulfill His will, which is grounded in the understanding that He first loved us. This divine love is not contingent on our actions but is a transformative power that compels us to love both God and others. The more we grasp God's love for us, the more we are enabled to express that love through our actions and in our relationships with one another.
