Summary/Abstract: We live in a time of restrictions, and from this perspective the society in which we live is divided into two broad categories, namely some who are subject to restrictions and others who revolt against them. We do not intend to discuss in particular in this study the motivation of those who are subject to restrictions but the attitude of those who revolt, as well as the attitude of those who remain neutral towards these restrictions. However, in this study we propose to take a look at the Holy Book, to see what the Creator says, at the proactive level, about restrictions. Does the Creator intend to take people’s freedom, or does He want to lead them to a bright and happy end? In all fields, the mentioned laws (Moral, ceremonial, civil, sanitary law, etc.),together form the laws of human education: moral education, religious education, health education, civic education, etc., there can be no human society without laws, namely laws in all fields of activity, but laws that are in accordance with God’s thinking, as they are presented in the Holy Scriptures, not interested laws, laws with dedication, etc. Man must not relate to the law, man must not have to deal with the law, just as he must not have to deal with the fence or the walls, man must have to deal with the space delimited by the law, and in this space, man has to deal only with his relationship with God, a relationship that must be in good conditions, with his relationship with his fellows, which must also be in good conditions and with his relationship with himself, because the system of laws from the Holy Scripture also concerns our own being. Under these conditions man reaches in the position of being free and happy.
