How does Christ fulfill the law?

In the New Testament, Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of the law's demands. He perfectly obeyed every command and thus satisfies the law's requirements on behalf of His people. Matthew 5:17 says, 'Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.' This indicates that every aspect of the law points to Him and is completed in His work. Additionally, through His death and resurrection, Christ has secured salvation for those who believe, providing a righteousness that they could not achieve on their own (Romans 10:4). Therefore, His life, death, and resurrection vindicate the law while offering believers a new identity in Him as righteous before God.
