Society developed laws to help protect the people. For instance if you drive a vehicle, you are required to stop at a red light or a stop sign to (hopefully) prevent an accident. Our Creator’s law does the same thing, it is there to help protect us from harm while at the same time to guide us through this life so we may be successful. Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.”
