Obedience to God's command is the only product and prove of one's love to God.
No other highest reasons in obeying God's commands than to love God.
Everyone who loves Jesus must obey his command which is to love each other as Jesus has loved him/her.
True full joy will be in the lives of those who love others as the result of their love to God.
