How many believers would still follow the teachings of their faith if all it offered was the command to do right for the sake of doing right?
There 'are' those who's motivation is simply to "do right for the sake of doing right." That's likely a healthier, more moral, more altruistic motivation than that of receiving an eternal reward. Jesus' love for us is His only motivation for doing what He did. And that alone, in turn, motivates many of His disciples likewise. They've learned (and are motivated) by His example.
You talk of Jesus Love, but humans do not go to hell in the OT, it's only with the "Loving Jesus", that we are introduced to an infinite punishment for finite crimes.
When evaluating the teaching attributed to Jesus, you need to look at both sides of the equation.
