It is only obvious if given your view. However, your view is not a given.
I agree that my view is not a given, but entirely disagree that that it's not obvious to all.
If you cast a critical eye over the notion that even your actions are pure, well-intended, compassionate to others and so on, they are still not moral unless they are taken in the context of Christianity; I think most could see that it's an extremely self-serving (to Christianity) idea, that is best seen as a marketing tool, to place it's 'product' as indispensable.
Given the context of the Christian writings, in that they're vying amongst other religious writings and beliefs; it is no surprise that a dogma emerges which tells us that action and consequence are irrelevant, unless taken via its own doctrines.
