What does the Bible say about loving God and keeping His commandments?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that love for God is expressed through keeping His commandments, which are not burdensome for believers.

The Scriptures reveal that love for God is intrinsically tied to obedience to His commands. In 1 John 5:3, it states, 'For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.' This illustrates that genuine love for God results in a desire to follow His will, motivated by the transformative grace He provides. When one is truly born of God, they cannot help but keep His commandments, as this reflects the nature given to them in their new birth.
