The theology of love in the practice of giving betel nut with ‘okomama’ in Atoni Pah Meto culture reflects the values taught in 1 John 4:7–8. This study, utilizing qualitative methods and a descriptive ethnographic approach, explores how this tradition embodies Christian teachings of love within the local cultural context. It examines the values of love expressed in this practice and its impact on social and cultural relationships within the Atoni Meto community. The findings reveal that the offering of betel nut with ‘okomama’ symbolizes affection, respect, brotherhood, and serves as a tool for conflict mediation, cultural preservation, and the strengthening of community identity. This tradition enriches social relationships, maintains harmony, and applies the values of love in daily life.Intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary implications: This research makes a significant contribution to the study of culture, anthropology, and theology by examining how Christian love values are reflected in local practices. It encourages further exploration of the interaction between culture, religion, and theology, while also opening opportunities to study the sustainability of traditions and community identity in modern contexts
