Why should anyone obey God?

If the only answer is “because God said so,” then circular reasoning claims a victory. if someone doesn’t already care what God says, you can’t use God’s authority to justify God’s authority.

So what actually gives God moral authority?

This video explains the one universal reason every human being can understand — without theology, without fear, and without blind obedience: gratitude.

Human beings are wired to recognize when someone has benefited us out of goodwill.
We instantly register that the benefactor deserves acknowledgment.
This intuitive moral judgment is the same across cultures, religions, and worldviews.

In the same way you’d feel obligated toward the person who saved your life, the argument here is simple:
If gratitude applies to every human benefactor, how much more to the One who created your life, sustains your existence, and gives you the very capacity to understand morality?

In this video, we explore:
• Why “God said so” is not a moral foundation
• Why power, reward, and punishment do NOT generate moral authority
• Why inherited religion (culture, tradition, family) can’t establish truth
• How gratitude functions as an innate, universal moral intuition
• Why God’s authority is not arbitrary or dictatorial
• How gratitude bridges God’s goodness and moral obligation
• Why serving God out of gratitude is the highest form of service

If you’ve ever wondered why anyone should follow God — and why the argument has to come from outside the system — this video breaks it down from first principles.

Gratitude isn’t just an emotion; it's an innate judgment.
It’s the foundation of moral obligation.
And it may be the most overlooked reason to follow God.
