The command to love, as most consider it, "If you love me (God) you will keep my commandments," is not to do anything because it will prove one's love. It is rather a matter of the doing spontaneously springing from love. We give our lives for our children, partners, strangers, or neighbours because of its spontaneous rising from love not as a effort of proof. The spontaneous act proves our love. Love drives action. Action does not drive love.
