What is the significance of Christ being made under the law?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being made under the law signifies His role in fulfilling the law's demands for our salvation.

In Galatians 4:4, it states that 'God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law.' This means that Jesus lived a life subject to the law, fulfilling its righteous requirements perfectly. His obedience to the law was necessary for providing a righteousness that could be credited to our account. Since He was under the law as a man, His perfect adherence to it allows believers to be considered righteous before God. Christ's submission to the law underscores His identity as our representative, ensuring that all legal demands were satisfied in Him.
