How does Christ fulfill the law for us?

In Matthew 5:17, Christ declares that He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. His perfect adherence to the law meets God's righteous requirements, providing a means for God’s elect to be justified. By fulfilling the law, Christ magnifies its significance and transforms our relationship with it. Instead of being condemned by the law, believers are viewed through the lens of Christ's righteousness, thus liberating them from the curse associated with their inability to obey the law perfectly.
