The Seven Noahide Commandments, as commanded by G-d and revealed through Moses, were accepted by mankind from the time of Noah before the giving of the Torah. Moses was commanded by G-d to bring all the nations of the world to observe these basic commandments.
It is stated in Jewish sources that everyone should tell himself: “I was created to serve my Creator.” This goes for Noahide as well. G-d is the essence of good, and the nature of good is to bestow goodness. But goodness cannot be bestowed when there is no one to receive it. Therefore, G-d created our world and gave us the 7 laws of Noah so that there should be recipients of His goodness by doing his will.
Without the 7 Noahide commandments, the world could be full of selfishness. On the other hand by fulfilling the Noahide code the world would eventually be a much better place as it turns into a home for the revelation of G-d. The world has become a vessel for G-dliness.
Of course, the purpose of a vessel is that it be filled with content. This is our job, by accepting the Noahide commandments, to make vessels for the ultimate good. Humanity needs to be led by the infinite creator Who guides us towards an illuminated life.
Those who accept the commandment of Noah's sons and do it out of love are able to reach high levels and have a part in the world to come.
