The entirity of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endure forever. (Psalm 119:160) The simple truth is that since the beginning of mankind, the earth was full of disobedient children who needed instruction in righteousness, and also needed redemption from sin. If we were walking in love, Yehovah [God] would not have any need to give us any commandments, ordinances and laws to keep us from doing wrong things to Him, and to one another. But since we have an inclination to do evil and be selfish, the Torah [Law] of Yehovah was given so that we would see that we have sinned against Him and against one another. When the day comes that we no longer have the inclination to do evil, we will have no need of the Torah any longer. But as long as there are lawless and disobedient sinners, unholy and profane men, liars, or any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, the Torah is necessary to provide instruction in righteousness: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17) If no law had been given, Yehovahs righteous standard would have been unknown and none of us would have realised that we need to repent and be forgiven for anything. Yehovah had to show everyone what His will is, what His way of Righteousness is so that when Yeshua [Jesus] would come, we would all realize that we are sinners. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning (to instruct us), that we through the patience (endurance) and comfort (encouragement) of the Scriptures might have hope. (Romans 15:4) [Remember the Scriptures [Bible] referred to here, which was used by Yeshua, Paul and the other apostles consisted only of the TaNaCh (Old Testament), as the other books (New Testament) were not yet written and made canon of the Scriptures]
