Funhouse Mockery
The law is essentially a reflection of who God is. When we try to reach God by obeying the law though, we try to reflect a reflection and hence become ever more distorted. Like fun-house mirrors, reflections on reflections, twisted and misshapen. Following a law in order to be like God is nothing short of mimicking God and mimicry is just short of mockery. We must never mistake the reflection for the real thing and thereby make an idol of the law. We trust in God, not the law.
