Why is love for others important in Christian life?

Answered in 1 source

Love for others is essential because it reflects our faith in Christ and the grace given to us (1 John 3:18).

The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes that love is a hallmark of true faith. In 1 John 3:18, believers are called to love not just in word but in deed and truth. This active love is a direct response to God's love for us seen in Christ's sacrifice. A believer's genuine love for others is both an expression of their faith and an evidence of their salvation. John notes that our love must manifest practically, showing care and concern for the needs of our brethren. This love is a reflection of God's love poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
