I would like some thoughts on 1 John 5:3-4...
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
Could this mean that God’s commandments are a joy and delight to the Christian? For example that when we follow Jesus we find joy in that?

the Bible speaks of a dog who returns to his vomit
a dog eats his vomit because it must taste god, it’s enjoyable, of course vomit represents sin, they love sin and hate righteousness because they hate the taste
a believer has been transformed into a new creation, they no longer like their vomit and righteousness taste good, because it is their new self,
that’s the point of the saying, the dog returned to what he loved, because he was always a dog. He was not changed, he went through the motions of being a christian but in the end left and returned to sin, because that’s what he was, the new life did not taste good, so he left,
