What does it mean that Christ is the fulfillment of the law?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ is the fulfillment of the law, meaning He perfectly obeyed it and bore its penalties, thus providing salvation for His people.
In the New Testament, Christ is presented as the fulfillment of the law in that He both embodied its requirements and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Matthew 5:17 indicates that He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, perfecting what was lacking in human efforts. By doing so, He satisfied divine justice and opened the way for believers to reconcile with God. Consequently, Christians are no longer under the law's condemnation but live under grace, enjoying a relationship with God made possible through Christ's redemptive work.
