Why must Christians love one another?

Answered in 1 source

Christians must love one another as it reflects God's love and fulfills His commandments.

The call to love one another is a direct command from Scripture that mirrors the very essence of God. 1 John 4:7 states that 'everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.' Therefore, love among believers is an essential evidence of regeneration and a reflection of the divine nature. Moreover, loving one another serves to fulfill numerous biblical commands such as 'love thy neighbor as thyself' (Matthew 22:39). This love builds up the community of faith, fosters unity, and encourages mutual encouragement among believers, showcasing the transformative impact of God's love at work in their lives.
