What lesson can Christians learn from Jesus' obedience to the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' obedience teaches believers the importance of following God's commands for the sake of the Gospel.

Jesus' adherence to the law, including His circumcision, serves as an instructive lesson for Christians about the necessity of obedience. Ryle emphasizes that Jesus fulfilled the law not out of personal need, but to model submission for believers. This fulfills Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, where he mentions becoming all things to all people to save some. For Christians, this illustrates that obedience sometimes requires personal sacrifice or conforming to others' norms to avoid hindering the Gospel's effectiveness. It is a reminder that our actions should reflect Christ's humility and love, ultimately advancing His kingdom.
