The law of God is righteousness when it is followed by faith. Without faith your works are useless as is without works your faith is not faith.
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

“for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;”
Ephesians 2:8 ASV
Absolutley agree that by faith we are saved as it is a free gift. But we know the tree by its fruit. The works of keeping the commandments is the fruit. Salvation is a free gift by the grattitude of this free gift we strive to keep his commandments.
1 John 5
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
