The Ten Commandments. Exodus 20:20 "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."
This is the part of the Old Testament that sets the basic morals by which we live today. Even with the separation of church and state, we observe certain parts of the Ten Commandments. For example, most observe Sabbath and do not work on Sunday. It's just interesting in perspective to see how much of an impact these ten commandments/moral legalities have on our modern society. God laid out these basic rules for us to follow in hopes that we lead a fruitful life; a sort of low-key way of hoping to correct the sins of Adam & Eve. It was a second chance of happiness that he was providing to the population in exchange for their love. They were just the basics God required.
