What is the Torah good for?

What happens when we try to keep the law to go to heaven?

Deuteronomy 27:26 "Cured be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them,  And all the people shall say, Amen."  This verse in the Torah says if we don't keep all the law we are cursed.  Doesn't sound like any of us would go to heaven  by keeping the law.  As for someone being without sin and making it into heaven the Tanak says"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."  Ecclesiastes 7:20  Well, we are all cursed for not keeping the law and no one is able to keep the law, what can a person do to receive redemption from G-D?

So what is the Torah good for if we can not be made right with G-d by keeping it?  Psalms 19:7 tells us  the reason for the Torah "The law of the L-RD is perfect, converting the soul: .Our soul needs to be converted from what it is(" the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked..."  Jeremiah 17:9a) to what is right. The law shows us we have sin in our lifes and the penalty for sin is death.
