What does the phrase 'Christ is the end of the law' mean?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ fulfills the law's requirements, providing righteousness for all who believe in Him.

The phrase 'Christ is the end of the law' found in Romans 10:4 indicates that the law served its purpose by leading us to Christ. The law exposes sin and highlights our inability to achieve righteousness through our efforts. With Christ's coming, the law finds completion in Him as he perfectly fulfills its demands. Thus, for all who believe, His righteousness is credited to them, and they are freed from the law's curse. This important theological truth reassures believers that their acceptance before God is grounded in Christ’s work rather than their personal adherence to the law.
