duty to God
Sacred moral responsibility
Duty to God is an obligation to honor, serve, or obey a divine being, understood as a moral requirement that transcends human law or social convention.
The phrase appears in religious contexts and in oaths—particularly the Boy Scout oath, where it stands alongside duty to country.
His duty to God came before all else.
The concept assumes belief in a deity who makes claims on human conduct.
