How do we know that the law is fulfilled in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The law is fulfilled in Christ, as He perfectly obeyed its requirements and fulfilled all its prophecies as our Mediator.

Jesus states in Matthew 5:17, 'Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.' This indicates that Christ did not come to abolish the law, but to complete it through His life and work. His fulfillment included obeying every commandment perfectly and becoming the ultimate sacrifice for sin. By His obedience, He magnified the law and made it honorable. Believers are free from the law's curse because Christ has borne it for them, yet they continue to value the law as a reflection of God's character and moral order.
