What does the Bible say about Christ being the end of the law?

Answered in 16 sources

Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to believers, meaning he fulfills and terminates the law's requirement for justification.

Romans 10:4 states, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' This means that for those who place their faith in Christ, the law's role as a means to obtain righteousness is terminated. The law was never intended to make sinners innocent, but to establish them as guilty before God. Thus, the law’s goal was to drive sinners to recognize their need for Christ, who alone can provide the righteousness needed for salvation. By believing in Christ, one renounces their own attempts at righteousness, realizing they cannot stand before God based on their law-keeping.
