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

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfilled the law by living a sinless life and satisfying its demands through His sacrificial death.

In fulfilling the law, Christ did not abolish it but impeccably obeyed its every precept, demonstrating the righteousness that God requires. His life serves as a model of perfect obedience, which believers are called to follow. Moreover, by His sacrificial death, He satisfied the law's demands by offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, thus fulfilling all that the law foreshadowed. This dual purpose underscores the composite nature of redemption and provides believers with the confidence that they are justified before God not by their works but through Christ's completed work on their behalf.
