Walking in the love of God is so vital for us

If we have received Christ as our Lord and Savior, then we have received the love of God into our heart.  This is vital for our eternal security and is necessary to live a fulfilled life.  It says in 1 John 5:18 (AMP) 18 We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God carefully watches over and protects him [Christ’s divine presence within him preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or touch [him].  When we walk in the love of God it keeps us from sinning against God and our fellow man.  It serves as a motivating protection for us.  This scripture also tells us that when we walk in the Love of God it keeps the devil out of our life and our affairs.
