What does the Bible say about Christ fulfilling the law?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ fulfilled the law completely, satisfying its demands and bringing righteousness for His people (Matthew 5:17).

According to Matthew 5:17, Jesus specifically states that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. This fulfillment signifies that Christ completed the demands of the law in its entirety, ensuring that every requirement was satisfied without exception. Christ's obedience to the law was absolute; He upheld it perfectly in thought, word, and deed. Without this fulfillment, justification for sinners could not occur, as the law requires perfect righteousness.
