The problem of this article speaks the importance of the essence of prayer in the Christian life. Praying is a valuable opportunity for believers. Humans can ask God for help with their life problems. Praying can be seen as a special place for believers to build close relationships with God. They can also utilise any technology service to connect and pray for each other such as through calling, sending letters or newsletters, and WhatsApp Group contemporary communication facilities. Through praying for each other, people are interconnected and dependent on God. The method used in this study is a descriptive method. Researchers investigate the text of Bible verses related to the importance of praying for others. This approach is taken to lay the Christian theological basis of prayer. The results show that praying for others is a Christian character. Because Christians are commanded by Christ to pray for each other. Praying for others reflects a Christian character that is firmly inherent in believers. Believers who submit prayer support show the plea is urgent and urgent.

Abstract

This article explores the theme of Christ's love as the central message of Scripture, highlighting its embodiment from Genesis to Revelation. The purpose is to explain that Scripture is the primary source of expressing God's love for the world through Christ. Using a biblical theological approach, this article traces how God's love drives His actions and demands a response from humans. This study yielded the main response, namely that believers must love God, their neighbor, the Savior, and their enemies. Likewise, discipleship rooted in God's love will have an impact on faith growth and spiritual maturity. In conclusion, believers as disciples of Christ must reflect on God's love as the basis for transforming Christian life personally and communally.
