How does Jesus Christ fulfill the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ fulfills the law by embodying its purpose and meeting its demands perfectly as our Savior.

Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the law, standing as the perfect representation of what the law intended to achieve. Rather than being a set of rules that govern behavior, the law exists to point us to our need for Christ. By perfectly fulfilling the law through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ demonstrates that our righteousness comes through Him and is not dependent on our performance. This understanding aligns with the sovereignty of God in grace, showing that we are not bound by the law but free in Christ, who was made a curse for us so that we might experience the fullness of grace and forgiveness.
