How does Jesus fulfill the law for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the law through His perfect obedience, providing righteousness for believers (Romans 10:4).

In fulfilling the law, Jesus exemplifies an obedience that none of us could achieve. As stated in Romans 10:4, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' His incarnate life, characterized by sinless perfection, magnifies the law, demonstrating what it means to live in holy accordance with God's will. Additionally, His death on the cross not only atones for the sins of the elect but also serves as the perfect sacrifice that satisfies divine justice. This dual reality of Christ’s fulfilling the law leads to imputed righteousness, so that through faith, believers are credited with His perfect obedience.
