"To obey is better than sacrifice" I Samuel 15:22
Who are we to obey? God.
Why? Why should we do what God tells us to do? Isn't it much more fun when I don't have to worry about "don't do this, don't do that..." Our duty to obey God is not because He is God, but because His commands are in our best interests (see Matthew 7: 7-11) -- because God is good.
Since we are to obey God, what is it that He tells us to do? He says: "Love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength...and love thy neighbor as thyself." We cannot just "believe"- for without works, faith is dead (James 2:14) Jesus' death is only for us if we are His friends, and as He said, "ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." How is it with us? Are we Jesus' friends? Have we and are we doing what He has commanded? Do you treat others as we would want to be treated? If not, beware, for you are in danger of hellfire! However, if God will say "well done, good and faithful servant"...glory to God! He is glorified in our obedience.
