Deuteronomy 19:9

"If you carefully observe all this commandment which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in His ways always..."  Only when we love the LORD do we delight in walking in His ways and observing His commands.  When we love Him, we see that our obedience is in our best interest, not to earn anything but to protect ourselves from ourselves.
