The Bible teaches that fulfilling the law is accomplished through faith in Christ, as He is the end of the law for righteousness.
In Galatians 5:13-18, the apostle Paul explains that true fulfillment of the law comes from walking in the Spirit and not from the flesh. The law cannot be fulfilled by our own actions or righteousness; rather, it is fulfilled through faith in Jesus Christ. As believers, our focus should be on Christ, recognizing that He alone meets the requirements of the law on our behalf. This is rooted in the doctrine that we are justified, sanctified, and accepted by God solely based on the finished work of Christ, not by our own works or the law.
