How do we know that Jesus fulfills the law for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly, providing the righteousness that we cannot achieve on our own.

In Romans 10:4, Paul states that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This indicates that Jesus, through His perfect obedience, fulfills the demands of the law completely. He lived a sinless life, adhering to every requirement of God's holy standard, thus becoming the perfect representation of righteousness. Moreover, 2 Corinthians 5:21 underscores this truth by stating, 'For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' Therefore, when we place our faith in Christ, His righteousness is credited to us, allowing us to stand justified before God.
