How do we know Christ is the fulfillment of the law?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ fulfilled the law through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death, as represented by the Ark of the Covenant's contents.
The role of the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament highlights the principle that the law cannot be fulfilled by human effort, but rather through Christ. Jesus, in His life, fully honored and magnified the law, fulfilling its requirements through His holy obedience. Just as the tablets of the law were placed within the Ark, representing the covenant between God and His people, Christ embodies the fulfillment of that covenant, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Thus, He not only fulfills the law but also provides a way for humanity to approach God. This is encapsulated in the New Testament, where Paul states that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes (Romans 10:4).
