What does it mean that Christ satisfied the law?

Answered in 1 source

Christ satisfied the law by perfectly fulfilling its requirements and bearing the penalty for sin.

To say that Christ satisfied the law means He fulfilled its demands through His perfect obedience and bore the curse of the law on our behalf. According to Paul, Jesus perfectly obeyed the law in all aspects during His earthly life. Additionally, He took upon Himself the punishment that our sins deserve, thereby nullifying its condemning power over believers. This is foundational to the faith, as it assures us that no accusation from the law can stand against those who are in Christ. Not only did He remove our guilt, but He also fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law so that we could be declared righteous in Him.
