I believe the entire scripture is pointing us to the kingdom of God. It is a kingdom completed and true in heaven. God made us and our world in His image, and what is of sin that lives in our world is the opposite of the kingdom. That is why God gave us Christ, to purify us so we can live in His kingdom in heaven.
I think that is why scripture gives us so many instructions we call law. The basis of the kingdom is love, and all of scripture gives ways we can live to express love for God, for the world God created, and for all our sisters and brothers who also love God. If we could live by all the suggestions given in scripture, we would live within the kingdom of heaven. We can't, so God sent Christ.
