How does Christ fulfill the law for our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the law by living a perfect life of obedience, making Him our representative before God, thus granting us righteousness through faith in Him.

The fulfillment of the law by Christ is a fundamental tenet of our faith. As outlined in the Scriptures, specifically in Romans 5:19, one man's disobedience brought sin into the world, while Christ's obedience leads to the possibility of many being made righteous. Jesus lived a perfect life, fully adhering to God's law, and thus became the embodiment of righteousness. This means that, through faith in Him, we are credited with His righteousness, not our own (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we place our trust in Christ, our sins are imputed to Him, and His perfect obedience is imputed to us, making us just before God. This understanding highlights the grace of God, emphasizing that our standing before Him is solely dependent on Christ's finished work.
