The Laws of Moses guide the Israelites what not to do and what to do. So there will be no chaos in the land that God is giving them. But Moses didn't create these laws but God created it. For forty days Moses stayed at the mountain to receive the commandments, but in the first time he went down the people was worshiping other god not God (the golden calf). So Moses burned with anger told the Levites to take out their swords and go to the camp and kill all those who had disobeyed the Lord. That moment they learned that disobedience brings death.
Now I have read that whole book of Deuteronomy and my favorite chapter is chapter 9 because this is the chapter that shows that we must obey the Lord forever because obeying the Lord brings blessings. For it is his commandment and it is the most important. Why should we obey God because we will be easily swayed by the enemy which is not other people but satan. We will be hard to sway because we love God but if you don't love God you will be easily swayed because why will you stay with someone who you don't love.
Everyday in the morning me and my mom read one chapter. This helps us grow our faith in God and our relationship as mom and son. So reading together has many benefits. By the way this is the second book that we read now we are reading our third book together, Ecclesiastes.
My experience is that if you obey God's commandments you will have a good life but still it will not save your soul so don't think that if you do many good deeds you will be saved. No! Because you will leave everything here on earth! That's a warning. So these rules are just going to help you but if you feel bounded to it.. it is not true. These commandments are rules and makes everything in place in our life even games have rules and without rules everything will be boring and chaotic so we need rules. Rules straighten you up but if you don't believe it yet then read Deuteronomy!
