How did Jesus fulfill the law?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus fulfilled the law by perfectly obeying all commandments and taking upon Himself the punishment for sinners.

Jesus' fulfillment of the law is central to Christian theology and is articulated in Matthew 5:17, where He states that He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Throughout His life, Jesus kept every commandment perfectly, demonstrating His sinlessness and righteousness. Ultimately, He also bore the weight of the law's demands by suffering and dying on the cross for the sins of His people, thus providing grace and forgiveness. By fulfilling the law, He imputed His righteousness to believers, showing the transformative power of faith in Christ to reconcile us to God.
