What does it mean that Jesus is the end of the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus being the end of the law means He fulfills the law's requirements, providing righteousness for those who believe in Him.

In Romans 10:4, Paul explains that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. This statement signifies that Jesus accomplishes what the law intended: perfect obedience and moral fulfillment. The law, while revealing God's holy standard, also highlights humanity's inability to achieve righteousness on their own. By fulfilling the law through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ grants believers His righteousness. Thus, through faith in Him, we are no longer bound to the law's demands for justification, but instead, we receive a new life enabled by the Spirit to live in accordance with God's will.
