Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. I. WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD, BECAUSE HE IS THE BENEVOLENT CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. II. WE ARE BOUND TO OBEY GOD, BECAUSE HE IS THE CONSTANT PRESERVER OF THE CREATURES OF HIS POWER. III. WE ARE UNDER YET GREATER OBLIGATIONS TO OBEY GOD, BECAUSE HE IS THE PERFECT GOVERNOR OF THE UNIVERSE. IV. WE ARE OBLIGATED IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE TO OBEY GOD, BECAUSE HE IS THE MERCIFUL REDEEMER OF SINNERS. (C. Coffin, D. D.)
