Obey out of Love

There's another thought I had about commandments during church yesterday. I thought about how the first great commandment is to love God and how we can show our love for God by keeping His commandments, even the ones we don't understand. Sin separates us from God. We cannot live with God eternally if we live in sin now. When we resist temptation, we show that we choose God over sin and that we love God more than we are tempted by sin. So, one reason to keep God's commandments is to show that we love Him enough to want to live with Him again (and maybe get Him to answer a few of our questions). That's a pretty good reason to try to keep a given commandment, even when it's the only reason I can really think of.
