Why is loving God's people important?

Answered in 1 source

Loving God's people is essential as it reflects our love for Christ and fulfills our role in the body of Christ.

The sermon emphasizes that love for God's people is an extension of our love for Christ Himself. In John 21, the directive to 'feed my lambs' is a command not only for Peter but for all believers, indicating that serving and loving fellow believers is a key response to our love for Jesus. This interconnectedness illustrates that love is not merely a private experience but is communal and corporate. By serving one another, we manifest the love of Christ, fostering a nourishing fellowship that reflects the unity of the body of Christ.
