Belief may be false and confession only of the lips, but the agape love that comes from God cannot be counterfeited. The Biblical command to love is not new. Believers experience growth in their love for each other, which is warm-hearted sincere affection to all in God's family. Love is action, it is obedience and love can be shown in many ways, by avoiding prejudice, discrimination, accepting people, helping, listening, giving, serving and refusing to judge. Christian love effectively furthers the Work of Christ.
Love promotes fellowship and sacrificial service.
Christian love is to be seen in demonstration to foreigners. Love for others is patterned on God's love for His people. There is power in love. God is the source of love and is revealed in the Cross of Jesus Christ. Love is also a fruit of The Holy Spirit.
