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

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus is the fulfillment of the law as He perfectly embodied the sacrificial system and all commandments, thus providing righteousness for believers.

Scripture emphasizes that Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). In His life, death, and resurrection, Christ completed every requirement of the Old Testament, showing that the rituals and sacrifices pointed forward to Him. The Apostle Paul affirms in Romans 10:4 that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes.' Covering the entire scope of the law, Jesus' perfect obedience and sacrificial death provide the righteousness that we desperately need because we fall short of the law's standards. Thus, those who believe in Him are accounted righteous through faith, not through their own works.
