1 John 5:3 ESV

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

The best way to show our love of God is to keep His commandments and to follow His way. As we love Him, we think more of Him, study & meditate on His Word, involve in church activities, pray to Him often. As we do them, we understand His way more and enjoy the fruit of it. This motivates us to keep His way & do His commandments.

God does not give commandments to burden us. They are the principles to guide our life. They keep us safe from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the vanities of life, which exhaust and destroy our life. They help us focus on the good things which give us love, joy and peace. God's commandments are light, and to help us see the light of life.
