What it means to love Jesus

My love of Jesus cannot be based on what He stands for. My love of Jesus must be based on the person of Jesus and who He is. Doctrine is not devotion. What Jesus desires is a family of people who act the way people in love act. You don't obey because you love Jesus. You obey because you want to please Him. You don't follow or act like Jesus acts because you love Him. You do this so that you can be close to Him and be like Him. If we had no commandments at all, but loved Jesus, Jesus will have reached His goal.
