How does Jesus fulfill the role of law for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the law by living a perfect life and granting believers His righteousness.

Jesus’ fulfillment of the law is one of the central tenets of Christian faith. In the sermon, it is stated that 'Christ is our law,' emphasizing that through His obedience and sacrificial death, He has liberated us from the penalty and burden of the law (Romans 8:3). Believers are no longer under the law's condemnation because in Christ, they have received perfect righteousness. Thus, Jesus perfectly fulfills the demands of the law on behalf of His followers, allowing them to live in freedom and grace, as they are united with Him in faith.
