First, let's establish that Christ came to deliver the fallen human race from under law:
Gal 4:4 "When the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,5 that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."
Q: Why did we need to be delivered from under law?
A: Romans 3:22,23 "There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
The glory of God is defined by Moses as God's goodness, i.e., His righteousness. See Ex 33:18,19
So all, both Jew and Gentile, have sinned and are failing to fully live (i.e., measure up) to the righteousness of Christ. That makes even believers sinners.
For sinners to be under law means death. The law brings wrath. The curse of the law is death, goodbye to life forever. That's why we needed to be delivered from under law.
