How do we know Jesus Christ fulfilled the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ fulfilled the law by perfectly obeying all its demands and satisfying its penalties.

Jesus declared His mission in Matthew 5:17, stating that He came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it. This fulfillment involves both perfect obedience to the law's requirements and the sacrificial atonement for sin. The law requires not just outward obedience but also purity of heart, which only Christ perfectly exhibited. As noted in Romans 3:21-22, the righteousness of God is revealed apart from the law through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe, demonstrating that only through Him can the law's demands be met.
