The Torah means guidelines and instructions and are given by a loving Father who protects us under His Mighty Right Hand.
"TORAH" תּוֹרָהHebrew: "learning" or "instruction," sometimes translated as "Law;" also "Law of Moses" (Genesis through Deuteronomy). The Hebrew word translated "Law" all throughout the scriptures.
The Torah is to teach us about His righteouss commandments and that He wants for us to grow in our relationship with Him by not depending on traditions, stories handed over by others or other issues but to go back to the roots of our faith so that we may see the wonders of His Thora.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is faithful to the covenant He made with His people and will bring restoration to the land if we start to be open to learn what is written in His Thora. He writes His Torah on the tablets of our hearts. His Torah is the giver of life to ALL of us:
Psalm 19:7-8, 10
"The TORAH of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes ... More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."
Isaiah 2:3
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we shall walk in his paths: far out of Zion shall go forth the TORAH, and the WORD OF THE LORD from Jerusalem."
Proverbs 3:1, 18
"My son forget not my TORAH: but let thine heart keep my commandments ... She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. "
Matthew 5:18-19
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
In psalm 119 David wrote about the wise and wonderful law/instructions. That is why we read in 1 John that His commandments are not burdensome. Therefore, I want to share this simple truth but often so challenged by the doctrines of men for in Psa 19:7 it says The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Also, I want to include a quotation I have read just recently. It is about God’s righteous commandments in which He reveals His guard and love for us:
“Psalm 119: This Psalms is broken up into exactly 22 sections of 8 verses each. The entire theme of this Psalm is the laws and commandments of God and their blessing in your life. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The first 8 verses all begin with the first letter of the alphabet. The next 8 begin with the second letter and so on until the last letter. The gematria of Yehu’ is 22. This word means ‘YHVH is HE’. The numerical value of ‘ahav or love is 8. It is the Messiah who said “If you LOVE me you will keep my COMMANDMENTS.” In 22 sections of 8 verses each the God of Israel spoke to all of mankind what Yochanan 3:6 says, I LOVE YOU! (The Design of Scripture, 8)”
Fear God and obey His commandments for this is the duty of every person. Yeshua set the example. He did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill it meaning perform or execute fully. He is the Word that became flesh. Yeshua loves us and He wants and longs for us to grow in our relationship with Him. He is our example and we are made into His image. Yeshua said "if ye love me, keep my commandments Joh 14:15." He is the living Thora and we are to live by His guidelines. This is an ongoing process. If you stop having a relationship with Him or you feel like you never had a relationship with Him it is the perfect time to go and seek Him. His love is unfailing and His arms are wide open. The first thing you could do is to seek Him and when you truly seek Him you will discover that He loves you more than any person on the world. Our sins are cast as far away as the east is from the west when you come and drink of the living waters of His mercy and grace and repent for those sins that you made. It is not about knowing everything or having figured it out all by yourself. It is about being able to be moulded and to be seeking Him constantly so He can show you. The good news is that Yeshua is the way, the truth and the light. We are to live as He did, walk as He walked and love as He loved. He kept the Torah perfectly, and it is He who now lives in us. Our choice to turn away from Torah breaking and receive Him for our salvation is evidence that He lives in us. You don't seek obedience to the law through human effort and then receive salvation; you receive salvation through Yahushua's indwelling so that you have the power to walk in obedience.
