We are not under the law! Jesus did away with the law and brought in a better covenant called Agape Love which comes with divine revelation.
Ever hear of dispensations.

Dispensations & Covenants
.
*******
Dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of OBEDIENCE to some specific revelation of the will of God.
Innocence ~ Gen 1:28-31
Conscience ~ Gen 3:23
Human Government ~ Gen 8:20
Promise ~ Gen 28:1
Law ~ Ex 39:8
Grace ~ John 1:17
Kingdom ~ Eph 1:10
========
Covenants
Edenic ~ Gen 3:15
Noahic ~ Gen 9:1
Abrahamic ~ Gen 15:18
Mosaic ~ Ex 19:25
Palestinian ~ Deut 30:3
Davidic ~ 2 Sam 7:16
New ~ Heb 8:8
Man was created in innocency, placed in a perfect environment, subject to an absolutly simple test and warned of that consequence of disobedience.
The woman fell through pride, man deliberatly. God restored them but the dispensation of innocency ENDED in the JUDGEMENT of the expulsion in Gen 3:24
Conscience failed and brought the JUDGEMENT of the flood.
Noahic covenant subjects humanity to a NEW TEST ~ human government. The government of man by man.
The Abrahamic Covenant has 7 distinct parts.
You know God offered grace once before at Sinai and they chose the law.
Can't say God hasn't tried His best to accomdate man!
