God set the rule and handed down his greatest commandment - He gave the universal law to mankind. And there were multitudes of people who obeyed the law until this very day. But there were also those who hated the law (e.g. those who condemned the law, those who despised the law, those who refused to be govern by the law, those who gravely disobeyed the law). Because of so much hatred to God they killeth the law -- the law that giveth life. Hence, God elevated the law as beyond the highest good and by the blood of the lamb made it final and irrevocable so that all creations from the least to the greatest must pay attention and submit to the law.
And what is the law? The law is the Word of God that was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. He is the totality, the full realization of all the laws and principles governing the entire universe bridging the gap between our sins and God's holiness.
The meaning of the law is Christ. Christ who was begotten by God revealed himself to us not as God but rather as a servant born in the nature and likeness of men. For the salvation of mankind Jesus came to the world as the perfect living sacrifice, the lamb of God, offering his flesh and blood laying his life upon the cross. So that through his crucifixion there might be resurrection, and finally salvation or eternal glory in heaven. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And if he is the Way, then all beings must obey.
God cannot be confine within the boundaries of religious understanding, or within the frameworks of good and evil but simply beyond the highest good. The limited capacity of the human intellect undermines the nature of the infinite goodness of God whenever we try to delve to fully comprehend the mystery of God in the context of religious understanding. Thus, the human intellect can never fathom the all encompassing God subject to the polarities of good and evil which are the prevalent themes in religion for God is simply beyond the highest good.
