Why is love for Jesus Christ essential for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Love for Jesus is a natural response of the heart transformed by His love, as emphasized in 1 John 4:19.

Love for Jesus is not just a feeling; it is a vital evidence of one’s faith and relationship with Him. As articulated in 1 John 4:19, 'We love Him because He first loved us.' This love is a response to His initiating love, marking the relationship between Christ and His followers. Authentic love for Christ implies that believers will naturally desire to know Him, obey His commandments, and live in a way that honors Him. It is through this love that believers find their identity and purpose, serving as the foundation for their actions and attitudes towards others.
