Because I'm wired that way biologically -- the urge to do "good" -- where "good" seems to be in most cases the thing that helps us survive better. Therefore, if I knew 100% that my moral compass isn't compatible with the commands of God, then I would have to follow the commands while ignoring my moral compass in order to achieve this "good standard" of morality, assuming God knows best and his commands really are the best way.
What if you are trying to read your "moral compass" Next to something that creates it's own strong magnetic field? (Popular culture/western soceity.) For even if soceity throws your compass off a few degrees then it will take you in a direction that God is not.
