What does it mean that Christ came to fulfill the law?

Answered in 2 sources

It means that Christ lived in complete obedience to the law, addressing all its requirements on our behalf.

When we say that Christ came to fulfill the law, we acknowledge that He not only lived a life in perfect harmony with God’s commandments, but He also accomplished the purpose of the law. The law's primary function is to reveal sin and highlight humanity's inability to achieve righteousness. Christ's fulfillment signifies that He perfectly executed every command, thus rendering the law fully complete. Moreover, Christ’s sacrificial death served as the ultimate satisfaction of the law's demands, ensuring that all who accept Him by faith are released from the curse of the law and granted eternal life.
