There's a simple connection made in the beginning of this section -- because it is God who made us, then we want to learn how God would have us live. Otherwise, we're trying to follow in the instructions for life from someone who did not make us -- it's like choosing to learn how to drive from a person who built a car or someone who has never seen one before. Which would you choose? From the way the roads work when I drive on them, it seems as though there are all sorts of choices people make regarding that!
When we know where we begin, then learning how to live is easier, because we understand the why at the root of it all. Once we've accepted that, it's far easier to follow where that road may lead, and when we come up against things we don't fully understand, there's a measure of trust built in that we understand that our Creator is leading us someplace good!
