Jesus is declared the end of the law for righteousness in Romans 10:4, fulfilling its requirements through His obedience.
In Romans 10:4, it is clearly stated that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for all who believe. This signifies that Jesus not only accomplishes the demands of the law through His perfect obedience but also provides a justifying righteousness to all who trust in Him. Paul emphasizes that if righteousness could be achieved through the law, then Christ's sacrificial death would be in vain (Galatians 2:21). Hence, the fulfillment of the law is through Jesus Christ, who came to honor and fulfill its requirements, as noted in sections of the Gospel writings (Matthew 5:17) and the Old Testament prophetic texts.
