Love is keeping the commandments. Love is submitting to God. God has other qualities; but He is primarily known by this one. He wants His children to be known by this too. So, as we obey His commands, we are showing love toward God and love toward neighbor.
I think that is very clear. Our keeping of the commandments (which is love) is our response to God's love—first to Him, and then out to our fellow man.
