There is a strong connection between Law and Love. Love without law is directionless and just mere words without real action. Law without love is heartless, cruel, and mean. The law tells us how to love. Love motivates us to rightly keep the law. Jesus is saying here that if we keep His commandments, we will abide in His love. That is because the end of the law is love: love for God and love for Man. The great example of this kind of love is Jesus. He loved the Father and kept all His commands.
Are you trying to live the Christians life separating the commands of God from the love of God? Do not do it! They are forever intertwined.
