What does the Bible say about Jesus fulfilling the Law and the Prophets?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfilled the Law and the Prophets by perfectly obeying God's decrees and calling sinners to repentance.

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ came not to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17). This fulfilling came through His perfect obedience to God's commands, a righteousness that no one else could attain. His life exemplified the moral perfection required by the Law. By doing so, He not only upheld the holiness of God but also established a basis for salvation, enabling Him to call sinners back to God, emphasizing repentance as seen in Matthew 9:13. Jesus' sacrificial death paid the penalty for our sins, affirming His role in fulfilling the requirements laid out in the Old Testament.
