"To protect us from danger and tragedy. God’s law is like a strong cage at the zoo that protects us from fierce, destructive animals.
It protects us from falsehood, murder, idolatry, theft, and many other evils that destroy life, peace, and happiness.
All good laws protect, and God’s law is no exception.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 2:3."
