What is the standard for Christian love?

The Christian standard for love is exemplified by Jesus’ command to love one another as He has loved us (John 15:12). This calls for a profound and sacrificial love that mirrors the nature of Christ’s love, which was not based on our actions or merit. As believers, we are to hold this high standard; our love is meant to be generous and self-giving, reflecting the love we have received from Christ. This divine standard guides our interactions within the Christian community and beyond, as evidence of our faith.
