How does the Lord Jesus Christ fulfill the law on our behalf?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the law perfectly, doing what we cannot do for ourselves, and His obedience is credited to us.

The life of Jesus demonstrates perfect obedience to God's law, thus fulfilling all righteousness on our behalf. He adhered to every requirement of the law without faltering, which we, in our sinful nature, are incapable of achieving. By living a life devoid of sin and fully submitting to the will of the Father, Christ becomes the ultimate substitute for us. His perfect obedience is imputed to believers who trust in Him, which grants them righteousness before God. This substitutionary atonement liberates us from the demands of the law that we never could fulfill.
