What Motivates Our Obedience?

From G. Vos - Biblical Theology (p. 32):

"To do the good and reject the evil from a reasoned insight into their respective matters is a noble thing, but it is a still nobler thing to do so out of regard for the nature of God, and the noblest thing of all is the ethical strength, which, when required, will act from personal attachment to God, without for the moment enquiring into these more abstruse reasons.  The pure delight in obedience adds to the ethical value of a choice."
