What does the Bible say about loving others as Christians?

In John 13:34-35, Jesus commands His followers to love one another as He has loved them, emphasizing that this love is the distinguishing mark of His disciples. It reflects our understanding of the Gospel and our shared identity as fellow heirs in Christ. Loving one another is not just a suggestion; it is a command that signifies our acceptance of one another within the family of God, based on the grace we have received. This divine love should manifest itself in our interactions, regardless of someone’s ability to articulate their faith.
