What does it mean to love the children of God?

Answered in 1 source

Loving the children of God means loving God and obeying His commandments, as it reflects our new nature in Christ.

In 1 John 5:2, John teaches that our love for the children of God is evidenced by our love for God and adherence to His commandments. This reflects the transformation of our nature through the new birth. Genuine love for God manifests in our desire to follow His precepts and serve one another within the body of Christ. It emphasizes the connectedness we share, for loving God inevitably leads us to love those whom He has begotten. It is a command that is not burdensome but rather a source of joy for those who are truly in Christ.
