1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
When we do read God’s Word and take that truth into our hearts we do find that God continually teaches us to love others; although it is a commandment in some places, here it is a consequence of us following His Word and being led by the Spirit.
If we are willing to listen to God and to obey His Gospel as it has been given to us, then we should by inference continue to love other people and to lift them up as we do ourselves.
It should not be under duress but through the love that He gives us to share with others that we do this. God loved us in the beginning and that love needs to come out of us toward others.
