What does the Bible say about reciprocal love in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Reciprocal love exemplifies the mutual affection between Christ and His church, as seen in the Song of Solomon.

Reciprocal love is beautifully illustrated in the Song of Solomon, where the bride expresses her marvel at the beauty of her beloved, reflecting the mutual affection that exists between Christ and His church. The bride sees herself as beautiful only through the eyes of her beloved, emphasizing that any worth she possesses is derived from Him. This mutual proclamation of beauty is rooted in the transformative love of Christ, who first loved His people, enabling them to love Him in return. The church, thus, finds its identity and beauty in its relationship with Christ, leading to a profound expression of love and admiration.
