"Laws are meant to restrict and confine us, taking away our freedom and happiness."

Yet, the Bible reveals that true freedom is found in following God's laws. Psalm 119:45 says: "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts." This means that when we follow God's teachings (His "precepts"), we can feel free and safe, knowing we're living the right way. It's like how following good rules helps us stay out of trouble and enjoy life without worry.
