What is love?

Love, in biblical terms, is demonstrated by keeping God's commandments. This view ties love to faithful obedience and living according to God’s will, not just feelings or outward signs. Scripture makes this explicit: “This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments” (1 John 5:3), and Jesus links loving Him with keeping His commandments (John 14:15, 21). Emotions can accompany love, but they don’t define it; wealth, status, or performing miracles aren’t the measure of love if they aren’t expressed through obedience and righteousness. So the best understanding is that love is shown in choices to follow and live by God’s commandments.
