Deuteronomy 9
Therefore know that the Lord your God, His is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for thousand generations with this who love Him and keep His commandments.

We know God loves us, but it is just as important that we love God. When we love we want to do our best for those that we love, which includes God. We show our love by following His instructions and keeping His commandments. God never asks us to do anything hard and He always helps us when we follow His lead.
