Why is it important that Jesus fulfilled all Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfilling all Scripture validates His role as the Messiah and assures believers of God's sovereign plan of redemption.

The fulfillment of Scripture by Jesus is significant as it demonstrates God's overarching sovereignty and faithfulness in His redemptive plan. In Acts 2:25-28, Peter references various psalms to illustrate how Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were not random occurrences but rather the fulfillment of prophetic Scripture. For instance, in Luke 24:44, Jesus Himself remarks that 'all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me.' This fulfillment underscores the legitimacy of Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah who came to atone for the sins of His people. Moreover, believers can have confidence in the reliability of God's Word, knowing that history has unfolded precisely as He promised. This assurance strengthens faith and provides hope for the future, knowing that God continues to fulfill His promises.
