Summary
The essence of Christianity is found in loving one another, a message that has been central from the beginning. In 1 John 3, we learn that our love for fellow believers is evidence that we belong to God. True love is defined by Christ's sacrifice on the cross, which educates us about love, obligates us to love others, and motivates us to act sacrificially. This love must be practical and tangible—not just words but actions like helping someone move, providing emotional support, or meeting financial needs. Believing in Jesus and loving one another are inseparable commandments, equally important to our faith.
