If God IS love, and the source of all love, then how are non-Christians capable of showing love? (Which I know they do… obviously!)
 
Didn’t Jesus say something about how the sun doesn’t only shine on the righteous?

It’s right here in Matthew 5:45:

“that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

How is love any different? I we non-Christians weren’t capable of feeling love, I think someone would have noticed by now.

Thanks 👍 btw, I didn’t mean to step on any toes, I was just wondering.
 
Christ is with everyone, including those who are ignorant of Him or reject Him entirely. He resides with them still until the day they are called to judgement. It makes perfect sense then that they are capable of feeling Christian love. For many non-christians it is this ability that eventually leads them to seek out Christ.

I think you may want to define ‘love’ first since it can have different meanings
