debate between grace and the law

Looking at scripture on these

Galatians 2:21 "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"

Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

John 1:11 "He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to ALL who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"
John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Romans 4:16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

James 5:16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

my question: would you rather have a life with lawlessness, or with law? (Seriously ponder on this)
