What does it mean to say Christ is the end of the law?

Answered in 1 source

Saying Christ is the end of the law means He has fulfilled its requirements and terminated its authority over believers (Romans 10:4).

The phrase 'Christ is the end of the law' signifies that Christ has perfectly fulfilled all the demands of the law and has satisfied its penalties on behalf of His people. Romans 10:4 states, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This means that for those who are in Christ, the law no longer serves as a means of obtaining righteousness or justification. Instead, Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers, and they are seen as perfect in Him. This doctrine liberates Christians from the bondage of the law, emphasizing that our relationship with God is now founded on grace and faith rather than legalistic adherence. The believer's life is directed by love and gratitude for what Christ has accomplished rather than by fear of legal retribution.
