What does it mean to love God and keep His commandments?

Answered in 2 sources

Loving God means to keep His commandments, as they are not burdensome but a reflection of our faith in Christ (1 John 5:3).

In 1 John 5:3, the apostle John explains that true love for God is demonstrated through obedience to His commandments. This obedience is not a mere obligation but stems from a genuine love and faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf. The commandments provide guidance for living in alignment with God's will, indicating that a believer's faith is active and results in actions that glorify God. The commandments become a joy rather than a burden for those who have been transformed by His love.
