How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of the law in Leviticus?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is the fulfillment of the law in Leviticus, as He embodies the perfect sacrifice required for our redemption.
Throughout the book of Leviticus, the detailed instructions for offerings and sacrifices set forth a clear picture of the holiness of God and the seriousness of sin. These sacrifices, while legitimate in their time, could not actually take away sin, as noted in Hebrews 10:4, which states that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Jesus, the Lamb of God, fulfilled the purpose of these sacrifices through His sacrificial death on the cross. As stated in Romans 8:3, God sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. Thus, Jesus did not merely make salvation possible; He secured salvation for His people, proving that He is indeed the culmination of God's redemptive plan encapsulated in the law.
