What does the Bible say about Christ fulfilling all righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ came to fulfill all righteousness as the promised Messiah, achieving what the law could not.

In Matthew 3:15, Christ states that his baptism is necessary 'to fulfill all righteousness,' indicating that his mission is to accomplish perfect obedience and righteousness on behalf of his people. This fulfillment includes all aspects of the law and the prophetic writings in the Old Testament, which ultimately pointed toward Christ himself as the one who saves through his death, burial, and resurrection. As the Lord our righteousness, he satisfies divine justice and enables justification for those who believe in him.
