You dont need saving? OK.
Im not an expert at the matters of the law, since i wasnt born under the law. But to put it short and sweet, only the isrealites are under the law, which part of it, i would imagine all parts of it, but i could be wrong! The isrealites are saved by obeying the law. And as far as the genitles go, they are under no law, except that law that god writes on their heart, its not rules and regulations in a book, it is the law for maintaining a good conscience. I dont think that it was gods intention to covert the jews to the gospel of grace. His intention is to help them fullfill the law.
If you have time you could read romans 2:
12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
17Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; 18if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth-- 21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
