What does 'Christ is the end of the law' mean?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus fulfilled the law's requirements, offering believers justification through faith rather than works (Romans 10:4).

The phrase 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness' in Romans 10:4 signifies that Jesus brought the law to its intended conclusion. The law exposes humanity's sinfulness and inability to achieve righteousness on its own, acting as a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). By His perfect obedience and sacrificial atonement, Christ fulfills the law's demands and provides a basis for our justification. This means that for believers, righteousness is not achieved through adherence to the law, but through faith in Christ, who has accomplished the work necessary for our salvation.
