1Jn5

Loving God and keeping His commands is a privilege not a burden. If "loving" God and "obeying" Him is a burden, we need to reconsider our faith.

I am not saying it is easy to obey, but I do believe John is saying that when faith is real, there is a sincere desire to do so. Obedience is the overflow of faith. Maturity is the overflow of obedience.

God has blessed us with His commands. We will be blessed as we obey them. This is His command: love one another.
