Can keeping the law save us? Can we be saved without keeping the law?

Most Christians know that eternal life is a gift of God [Rom.6:23]. Gift, by definition is something given freely. Its receiver can not earn it. To attempt to earn it is futile - and makes no sense. What then does the law got to do - if any - with the free gift of eternal life?
