I'm going to give an example.
To not murder. If we don't murder because God says so in the Bible or Quran, then the intention of obeying God is the reason. But if that is the case, there is no difference between disobeying God not to murder or disobeying God not to lie.
But if there is a difference, it would be that the intention of one is a whole lot more vile due to the nature of the consequence of the action (which is one factor). But this is perception.
But if we act on perception, we know the degree of praiseworthiness or condemnation of an action. The same is not true if we simply obey out of obeying authority.
