Barry Goldwater was right: "You can't legislate morality".

The whole Old Testament was written to prove that. Man failed The Law every time. Morality comes from the heart and is a product of the New Man's (born again) fruits of the spirit.

The motivation to have His law written on our hearts is loving Him with all our heart. Then comes morality, something that doesn't exist by itself.
