How does obedience relate to experiencing Christ's love?

Answered in 1 source

Obedience to Christ's commandments allows us to experience His love more fully in our lives.

The relationship between obedience and experiencing Christ's love is addressed in John 15:10, where Jesus states that if we keep His commandments, we will abide in His love. This obedience does not mean achieving perfection, as we all fall short; rather, it's about earnest effort to follow His teachings. Our desire to obey reveals our heart's condition and enables us to experience the continuous favor of Christ. When we live in accordance with His will, we cultivate a personal awareness of His love, which in turn enriches our spiritual lives and joy in Him.
