Morality and Love

Mark 14:21, 24 is where most clearly morality is taken out of the normal do's and don'ts and is made personal, connected to a relationship, where morality is connected to Christ and God. And this is precisely what morality should be, a way of showing God you love Him, showing Christ you love Him.
"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me...He who does not love me will not obey my teaching."
I am not sure about you, but I am not even sure I know all of His commands, all of His teachings. Scratch that. I know I don't. So if I don't even know all of them, how can I obey all of them? Even if I did know all of them, I know I wouldn't obey all of them. No wonder He asks me 70 times a day if I love Him. I am not showing Him!
