How do we know that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness?
Answered in 2 sources
The Scriptures declare that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes, which underscores His role as the fulfillment of the law.
In Romans 10:4, Paul states clearly that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' This means that through faith in Christ, believers are no longer held to the law as a means of justification but are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. The law serves as a tutor that leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:24), showing us our inability to achieve righteousness on our own and thus pointing us to our need for a Savior. By resting in Christ's work, believers acknowledge that their righteousness is derived entirely from Him, not their own efforts.
