Why is love for one another a sign of true faith?

Answered in 1 source

Love for one another is a sign of true faith because it evidences the transformative work of God's Spirit in the believer.

In 1 John 4:20-21, the Apostle John makes it clear that one cannot claim to love God while hating their brother. This principle underlines the intrinsic relationship between our relationship with God and our relationship with others. If the Spirit of God resides in a believer, love will naturally flow from them. This love manifests not only in feelings but in actions and commitments towards others. Therefore, a lack of love can indicate a deficiency in one's relationship with God, making love foundational to authentic faith.
