But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:5
Loving God and keeping His commandments goes hand in hand. Keeping His commandments does not mean we'll never "not keep it", it just means we'll strive to keep it and please Him, more than doing what we want. Pleasing Him will come first for us, and with time we'll find that we want only the same things He wants.
God does not want us to serve Him only in the physical realm for others to see, He wants us to serve Him spiritually, not bothering about others thoughts of us but concentrating solely on Him.
It's not just enough to say we love Him, It's better to show we love Him.
