How do we know that Jesus is the end of the law?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 10:4 confirms Jesus as the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

The declaration that Jesus is the end of the law is primarily found in Romans 10:4, which states, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This emphasizes that Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the law perfectly, thus providing a justifying righteousness that cannot be achieved through human effort. Furthermore, in Matthew 5:17, Jesus affirms His purpose to fulfill rather than destroy the law, which underscores His role as the perfect mediator who honors and completes the law's demands on behalf of His people. His obedience establishes a righteousness that is imputed to believers, freeing them from the curse of the law, as elaborated in Galatians 3:13.
