The love of God is in the Messiah Jesus, our Lord. Jesus loves you. Why? How? What difference does it make?

We are your reason, you are ours. by David Harwood
Reasonable.
For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end; just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus. (2 Corinthians 1:13-14)
... to be proud - Greek - to boast
We have an opportunity to contribute towards others’ rewards.
These verses speak of our being proud of one another at the judgment.
I can understand the apostolic position: "I will be rewarded for establishing these believers." However, here the mutual support means that the church also receives a reward for the success of the apostolic mission.
We’re very connected.
We actually share in the eternal rewards one another receives.
