God is classically defined as a benevolent being, so...?
Of course, one can ask why one would suppose God to be benevolent, this is a difficult issue that probably requires an appeal to revelation.

Subjective, objective are nothing but labels, remember? But sure, if you define subjective morality as any moral system ordained by a subject, then yeah God's commands are subjective by definition. But God, being God, can assess moral facts better than anything else, again, by the very definition of the word God.
If you don't like the word objective, let's just say that a moral system ordained by God is the best subjective moral system possible, by definition. That's enough, I think.
