Jesus’ View of the Law: Jesus Did Not Abolish the Law; He Fulfilled It

Sometimes Christians tend to disregard the Old Testament as irrelevant to our faith today. But Jesus declared God’s law to be authoritative and necessary for us. The law is like a teacher who shows us God’s holiness, our sinfulness, and our need for salvation. In fulfilling the law through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus enables us to attain a righteousness greater than that of the Pharisees—as God’s holy people sent out in His name into the world.
