I think when we are in relationship with God, knowing Him, respecting and honoring him, and following His ways, it brings order, protection and better relationship with others; I think this is because we become wiser and in better relationship with self. My understanding from 1Corinthians11 is that we should approach everything with our hearts in check and carry ourselves in a way that reflects God within us and honors Him in how we live. This supports my understanding of Exodus 19-20.
