What does the Bible say about Jesus fulfilling the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly, obeying every command for His people.

In John chapter five, we see Jesus attending a feast in Jerusalem, signifying His obedience to God's law, as He was born under it and made to fulfill it. He stated, 'I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill' (Matthew 5:17). By living a sinless life and obeying all of God's commandments, He established a perfect righteousness that can be credited to those who believe in Him. His fulfillment of the law allows for God's justifying grace to be extended to the guilty.
