God’s laws were given to protect and promote man’s happiness, not to restrict it. God wants the best for us. He has laid down spiritual laws which, if obeyed, bring harmony and fulfillment.
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual (Romans 7:14). If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise [in spiritual things]. (1 Corinthians 3:18).
The spirit realm is reality, the material realm is only supplemental. Spiritual vision depends on our character, since “the pure in heart shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). Like all knowledge, spiritual knowledge may make you feel relief, but unless you actually implement your knowledge – take proper action to cement it in your brain – your knowledge will simply remain knowledge. It will not transform to wisdom!
You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God (1 Peter 2:4-5).
