Does Jesus commit an appeal to emotion fallacy here?

Original Question

At his farewell discourse, Jesus is alleged to have said the following:


John 14:15 - "If you love me, keep my commands" https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A15&version=NIV


Would this be deemed an appeal to emotion fallacy (maybe appeal to love?)

No. There is no argument here for there to be a fallacy. The idea of keeping his commands isn't a truth claim, but an action/behavior.
