The Word of God.
A SHIP navigator needs reliable maps and instruments to chart a steady course. Likewise, humans need a reliable guide in order to make the moral decisions they face daily. A moral guide that is whimsical or inconsistent will not do, nor will a guide that works only in certain cultures or societies. The perfect moral guide must transcend race and culture.
It is ironic that the Bible—the very book that has been rejected by millions, the book that has been called by some a mere lovely allegory, the book that has been subjected to more criticism than any other book in history—is that perfect moral guide. The Bible proclaims itself to be the Creator’s moral guide for man, the “lamp” that can light our way in “the tracks of righteousness.”—Psalm 23:3; 119:105.

It is the rules we live by as a social being that allow us to be a member of the group in complete trust with the rest of the group.
Edit: Most social animals have what we would consider "morals". Elephants spank their naughty youngsters, Monkey's have social rules, female cats ban together to watch over each other's young....

Junk. I see it as a way for people to exalt themselves in their own eyes. Don't get me wrong! Morality can be a good thing in this world, but it won't get you jack in the judgement.

What makes me happy is moral. What makes others happy when I want them to be happy is also moral.
