How do we know Jesus fulfills the law represented by Moses?

The New Testament declares that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law described in the Old Testament, including the law given through Moses. Romans 10:4 states that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This signifies that while the law was given to guide and instruct, it could not bring salvation; that role is fulfilled in Christ.

Moses’ leadership and the events surrounding his life, such as the Passover and the provision of manna, all act as types, pointing toward Jesus' work of redemption. As Moses led Israel out of physical bondage, Jesus leads His people out of the spiritual bondage of sin and death through His sacrificial death and resurrection. Thus, by believing in Christ, believers realize the righteousness of the law, not through their effort to obey it, but through faith in the Savior who embodies the law's true purpose. In this way, the life and death of Moses become not just historical accounts, but significant indicators of the covenantal grace fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
