I believe that the giving of the Law was gracious from God's introduction to it. It was given to a redeemed people:
Exodus 20:1, 2 "And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."

Would you care to elaborate?

There were no promises made to the fleshly seed as such for "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed" (Romans 9:7, 8).

I believe you are using the Romans 9 passage out of context and you need to read Genesis Chapter 17. There are promises made to those in the flesh and not in the Covenant of Grace.
