What does the Bible say about Christ as the fulfillment of the law?

Jesus affirms in Matthew 5:17 that He did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. This fulfillment encompasses His perfect adherence to the law as well as His role as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. In typological terms, various elements in the Tabernacle (as described in Exodus 25) represent aspects of Christ’s ministry and obedience. In fulfilling the requirements of the law, Christ embodies God's righteous standard, allowing believers to be justified through faith in Him rather than through works of the law. This highlights the grace given to us through Christ, which is foundational to understanding our salvation.
