Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word (John 14:21
He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me")
; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.
— John 14:23
I don't understand this. Is this saying we have to keep Jesus word/commandments to be born again? Notice it says: first we love him and keep the commandments, then God will make his abode with us.
My experience is I started to love Christ after being born again, not before.
