The purpose of the law is not to be saved, it is to have a good relationship with God, and to demonstrate to the nations what a good God we have.
Galatians 3:11 NASB95 - Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

Jesus took the curse on himself so we could have the blessing
Galatians 3:13-14 NASB95 - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"-- in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

God chose the nation of Israel not because they were great, but because He set his love on them. He chose them.
Deuteronomy 7:6-8 NASB95 - "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. "The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
