What does the Bible say about the interpretation of the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Christ came to fulfill the law, revealing its deeper, spiritual significance beyond mere external actions.

In Matthew 5:17-48, Jesus interprets the law, indicating that it goes beyond external compliance to the heart's intentions. He emphasizes that anger is akin to murder and lust is equivalent to adultery, thereby highlighting the law's spiritual nature. This interpretation underscores that God's standards are not merely about outward actions but also about inner motives, revealing how deeply the law reaches into our hearts. The Pharisees' superficial teaching did not capture this depth, as they focused on external adherence rather than the heart behind the actions.
