How did Christ fulfill the law for His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfilled the law by living a sinless life and obeying every command, thereby becoming the perfect substitute for sinners.

Jesus' fulfillment of the law is central to the understanding of His redemptive work. In Philippians 2:7-8, we see that He took on the form of a servant and humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death. By living a life of perfect obedience, He kept the law flawlessly, something no one else could achieve. This obedience qualifies Him to be our representative before God. Romans 5:19 tells us that 'through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so through the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.' Thus, by fulfilling the law in the place of His people, Jesus provides a way for believers to be deemed righteous in the eyes of God, showing that all spiritual blessings are found in Him (Ephesians 1:3).
