The Law was given to show us our sin so that we would know what separates us from God. It is a school master to lead us to Christ. It was never designed to help us be good, it was given to show us how bad we are. When we become born again, the Law Giver comes to live in us. He changes us into a new creation and the Law becomes a part of who we are in Christ. It does not condemn us anymore, but rather it condemns others who come in contact with Christ in us.
Galatians 3:24 "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith."
Romans 8:3 "For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,"
Those who think they must follow the Law to be saved, don't understand that following the Law never saved any one, it is faith in Christ alone that saves.
Acts 16:31 "They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
The only role the Law played was to show us our sinfulness, that we would see our need to trust Christ.
