Why is the question 'Do you love me?' significant for Christians?

The question 'Do you love me?' posed by Jesus to Peter carries profound implications for all Christians. It emphasizes the necessity of a personal relationship with Christ that goes beyond mere belief in doctrines. In John 21, we see this intimacy as Jesus queries Peter three times, paralleling Peter's three denials. This moment invites believers to reassess their love and commitment to Christ amidst life’s distractions. The answer to this question is vital for fulfilling our call as Christians, which includes the responsibility to feed His sheep and serve others intimately and sacrificially.
