The Laws were created to give us chances after chances to rehabilitate us. God has kept on giving us chances, but if it were I, the first mistake a person does, they are out of here. But God's mercy kept on giving us chances like most parents does for their spoiled children. So I guess He want us to have the same feelings that He has for us and appreciate the things that He has created for us to enjoy but not the things that we has created.
we take care of the poor, the widow and the fatherless out of love and because we have His Holy Spirit who teaches us His ways. Not because of the Law and the thought of punishment or reward but out of overflowing love and true understanding of what God wants His children to do and be.
Jesus washed us clean with His blood and gave us His Holy Spirit to cry out Abba Father so that we are no longer servants to be ordered around but beloved children and heirs to be ambassadors in this world for our Father who is in Heaven.
Therefore the Law taught us how much we NEED Jesus and how to be compassionate to others who are not perfect, who are like us and make mistakes. It teaches us that WE need forgiveness and that GOD shows us how we should forgive others because HE died for us and Forgave us our sins. Our debt is so much greater, our transgressions so much more severe than any that another could do against us, but Jesus washed us clean. He wiped away the handwriting and nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
