Once again John comes back to obedience, love and doctrine. In Chapter five he talks first about the doctrine of the belonging to the family and he immediately connects that to love. He then talks about test for knowing and he ties that to obedience.
Then he adds that love is obedience to the Lord's commandments. When was the last time you heard someone sing a song about loving the laws of the land? Maybe a song about the greatness of the traffic laws. Yet we know that these laws protect us and therefore we should be thankful for them.
