How do we know Christ fulfills the law?

Answered in 7 sources

Christ fulfills the law by living a perfect, sinless life and becoming the righteousness of His people, as stated in Scripture.

The fulfillment of the law by Christ is central to the Gospel. In John 19, where the inscription suggests His kingship, we also see that He is the fulfillment of all righteousness. Romans 10:4 states that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. He did not abolish the law but completed it, providing the perfect righteousness that His people lack. As the sinless One, He met the demands of God’s justice perfectly and as 2 Corinthians 5:21 confirms, He became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Thus, in His life, death, and resurrection, He epitomizes the fulfillment of the law.
