In John 14:15, the verb "keep" is in the future tense, so this verse is often translated, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" in modern translations. That might change the way you understand what Jesus said here.

These two verses might raise the question: Wait, what comes first, obedience or love? Which of the following options best accounts for the relationship between obedience and love implied in the two verses? A. Love always comes first; obedience is always preceded and motivated by love for Christ. B. Obedience must come first; obedience leads to abiding in Christ's love. C.
