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

Answered in 1 source

To love Jesus means to keep His commandments, demonstrating genuine faith and commitment (John 14:21).

In John 14:21, Jesus states that the one who has His commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Him. This teaching highlights that true love for Christ is reflected in obedience to His words. However, it is crucial to understand that this obedience does not merit salvation; rather, it is a response to the love that Christ shows us first. Genuine love for Jesus will naturally produce a desire to follow His teachings and commandments, leading believers into deeper communion with Him and manifesting His love in their lives. Thus, keeping His commandments becomes an expression of this transformative love.
