Why is the concept of fulfilling all righteousness important?

Answered in 1 source

Fulfilling all righteousness is central to understanding Jesus' role as our mediator and representative before God.

The concept of fulfilling all righteousness is vital in understanding both Christ's mission and the believer's response to it. By choosing to be baptized, Jesus exemplifies perfect obedience to God's will, fulfilling the law's demands that we cannot meet. This act symbolizes His commitment to atone for sin on our behalf as our sin-atoning Substitute. In our baptism, we publicly acknowledge that our hope rests solely in Christ's righteousness, thereby affirming our faith in His completed work for our redemption. It emphasizes the grace that comes through faith, highlighting our need to rely on Him for righteousness rather than our own efforts.
