and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them.Here we see why God wants people to obey Him: it's for their own good. God is the only source of authority in this universe, but we tend to forget that. What He wants is always the best for us, even when we don't realize it.
Therefore, to obey Him is to do good for us. It's in our best interests, long-term, to do whatever He commands. However, we tend to get lost in our limited, short-sighted thinking and don't look to God's perspective to see what is best for us or our families.
