How do we know that Christ is the fulfillment of the law?

Answered in 6 sources

We know Christ is the fulfillment of the law because He embodies its demands and serves as both the high priest and the ultimate sacrifice for sin.

In the message, it is emphasized that, 'In Him, the law is kept.' This profound statement reveals that Christ not only upholds the righteousness of the law but also embodies the very essence of it. By fulfilling the law's requirements, Christ became the ultimate sacrifice, enabling the reconciliation of sinful man to a holy God. His life, death, and resurrection illustrate that He is the only means through which we can be justified before God. When the law is brought to us, as represented by the ark, it exposes our sinfulness, but it is in Christ that we find our righteousness—He is both the law’s fulfillment and the mercy seat upon which we find grace.
