The difference between keeping God's commands as a sign of love and keeping God's commands as a way to earn salvation or righteousness, is that in a love relationship one does not work a behave a certain way to earn salvation. We work or behave a certain way because the one we love with all of our being wants us to exhibit certain attributes.
For example: if you love your spouce with all that you can he/she like certain foods, but hated others, or wanted you all to themselves, would you only provide the foods they hated? Would you cheat on them regularly? What if it was your young son or daughter? Or would you do everything in your power to give them what they want and or need from you?
