To love God is how we learn how to love others.  It’s tough loving each other.  Without a commitment to love God we can easily fail as we try to make things work here on earth.  Jesus prayed that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  We start with heaven and bring it down to earth.  To reverse this can lead us down dangerous paths.  What keeps me going when the struggle seems too much to keep loving?  My commitment to God reminds me to try again.  If I love God first, He will always send me to my neighbor.  My neighbor may never send me to God.  If we are going to make Paul’s admonitions in Romans 12 work, it starts with a commitment to love God and keep his commands.
