What does it mean that Christ is the end of the law?

When we say that Christ is the end of the law, we mean that through His life, death, and resurrection, He has completely satisfied all the demands of the law for His people. Romans 10:4 states, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' This indicates that believers no longer rely on the works of the law for justification; rather, our righteousness is found in Christ alone. His fulfillment of the law means that the burden of attempting to gain God’s favor through legalistic observances has been lifted, and instead, we are called to live in love, motivated by the grace that we have received.
