What does it mean for the law to be finished in Christ?

When we speak of the law being finished in Christ, we refer to the reality that Jesus perfectly fulfilled the law’s requirements on our behalf. Romans 10:4 states that 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' This indicates that the law no longer serves as a means of earning righteousness for believers; instead, Christ has become our righteousness. By living a sinless life, He demonstrated perfect obedience to the law, and through His death, He paid the penalty for our transgressions. As believers in Christ, we are free from the law's condemnation and can live in the liberty of grace. The concept underscores the transformative nature of the Gospel, where our standing before God is based on Christ’s work alone.
