Best Answer

by keeping his commandments

Additional thoughts:

As mentioned above, Jesus taught us to love God by his WORD (John 14:30+31)and by his EXAMPLE.(1 John 5:3)

Jesus loved his father and, infact, taught that the 'greatest commandment' is to LOVE GOD (Matthew 22:36-38) above all else. Jesus said: "The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength...." (Mark 12:29+30 KJV)(Luke 10:27) . It was important to Jesus that God's name be treated with respect (Matthew 6:9) and his zeal for his father's commandments was a fulfillment of prophecy (John 2:17/Psalm 69:9)

Jesus also gave examples of those who did NOT love God(Matthew 13:13-15), and he set the example of how and why we SHOULD love God, by the way he lived his life.(John 4:34/John 6:38)

This is mentioned by Paul at Romans 5:1-11 which shows it was God's love for US that caused him to send Jesus in the first place (1 John 2:1-6) so that we might have a peaceful relationship with our creator and a hope for the future. (Romans 8:35-39)(Ephesians 2:1-7)(1 John 4:7-16)(1 John 5:1-5). Jesus was obedient to God in everything(John 5:19+30/John 8:28/John 12:49), allowing himself to be mistreated in order to fulfill his father's purposes for him (Matthew 26:67+68/Matthew 27:26-38/Mark 14:65/Mark 15:15-20/John 19:1,as prophesied at Isaiah 53:7)and he said that God is good, worthy of our love. (Mark 10:18 KJV) He loved and trusted his father through his life, death and resurrection (Acts 3:15/Hebrews 2:9+10/Hebrews 5:7) and because of his love and respect for his father, he will complete his assignment and then ultimately subject everything, including himself, to God (1 Corinthians 15:24-28).

By word and deed Jesus showed the world how to live so as to achieve eternal life with Him.
