Christ is the end of the law because He fulfills its requirements for righteousness on behalf of believers.
In Romans 10:4, it is stated that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. This means that Jesus perfectly fulfilled the law’s demands through His obedience and sacrificial death. By accomplishing what the law could not do, He established a righteousness that is credited to believers, as expressed in Romans 4 regarding justification by faith. His fulfillment of the law signifies that He not only meets its requirements but also redeems His people from its curse, thus granting them freedom and reconciliation with God. This profound truth highlights the grace of God found in Christ, offering believers assurance of their standing before Him.
