John 15:9-10

I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love (and do not doubt My love for you). If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 

There is wisdom in love and following Jesus’s teachings. Jesus keeps God’s commandments, and we are to follow his example. When we keep those commandments, we avoid sin and separation from Jesus and God. God’s love is so powerful for us that He sacrificed Jesus to save us from our sins.
