The law of God is like the bank of a river. It shows us the limits beyond which we should not pass.
To pass beyond the boundaries of the law gets the penalty of death.
The law was not given to kill us, but rather it was given to show us the limits to the area where we are safe, and the boundaries to areas where we fall off the cliff, sink in quicksand, fall into pits, and wander into poisonous water lakes.
Like a roadmap to a land filled with land-mines. The law shows us a safe path through the things that will destroy us. Even if someone doesn't understand yet why not to step on a landmind, he would be wise to follow the map and stay off the areas of landmines.
Set your desire to Eternal Riches, the true riches.
