How does Christ fulfill the law?

Answered in 7 sources

Christ fulfills the law by perfectly adhering to it and then becoming a curse for His people, thereby liberating them from its demands.

In Galatians 3:13, Paul states that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by being made a curse for us. This act effectively fulfills the law's requirements so that those who believe in Him are no longer under its dominion. By fulfilling the law entirely and offering Himself as a perfect sacrifice, Jesus establishes a new covenant of grace, replacing the old covenant that was based on obedience to the law. This transition highlights the sovereignty of God in salvation, where grace prevails over the works principle, ensuring that believers are justified through faith in Christ alone.
