Since Christians are under Grace and not the law, what commands was John referring to in this passage?
When John wrote- This is love for God: To obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3
1 John 5:3
ESV - 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

The Ten Commandments are designed to make us aware of sin, no one has kept all the Ten Commandments. And God knew that it would be impossible for us to obey the law, that is why Jesus has paid the price for our sin. So grace is available to us all, for those who want to serve God. Of your own free will!
