Living according to God's will is the right way to live. The life that we have is not our own, for us to live and have our being is only by God's spirit.
If we acknowledge that ways are better than that of man and his wisdom surpasses that of man then it makes no sense for us to live outside the will of God.
Everything we do must be according to God's will and not as how we please. God's will was for humans to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it but mankind had different opinion.
People decided to build a great city for a name and never wanted to be scattered over the earth. This was against the original intent of God for man and so God confused their language and scattered them abraod:
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:1-9
Whatever is not from God will not stand or be successful. We will bring destruction on ourself if we do away with God's will.
God's word contain his will for our lives and it is the right guiding manual we must live with each day.
