The law is good in the respect that it shows us our sin and draws on us to seek the Righteous One.

Paul calls the law good even after someone has been saved. You imply that the only thing good about the law is to show we are sinners and once that is achieved, the law is no longer good ?

Once we have been brought to repentance the law continues to show us our sin for we daily sin much. In that respect you could say the law is good. Paul says: l Tim 1:8-10 "But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinner, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons,and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine:

Paul also says in Romans 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes."
