    atonement

  2. Rodel Amporias says:

    Scholars divided the Law in three categories. Moral
    (10 Commandments), Social and Spiritual Law(Levitical code, temple ritual, community worship)
    Jesus fufillmed the spiritua law, the focuses on Atonement. Hebrews 9:22.
    Wy then the Law was given?
    Why, then, was the law given at all?
    It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator
    Galatian 3:19,
    So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
    Galatian 3:24.

  3. Ralph Edwards II says:

    The Law. Some one had to live the perfect sinless life and die as a sacrifice and atonement to save Gods people. Someone had to take the full force of God’s wrath upon them. Only Jesus could accomplish this. IT IS FINISHED!

  4. Ed Weems says:

    Jesus come to fulfill a specific law, and office, an elected position that he was elected to hold before the foundations of the world, a lamb without blemish, that is it. Of course he could not have broken any of The Commandments or he would have had a spot and a wrinkled and he would have disqualified himself from holding that office, a lamb without blemish gamma I have heard preachers preach that Jesus fulfilled the ten commandments so we don’t have to, absolute rubbish.

  5. Philip Davis says:

    Wages of sin = death

  6. Olivaire Watler says:

    The Law = the Law of Moses, the Torah.

  7. Thato Masiu says:

    Our Lord Jesus Immanuel Christ came to fulfil (Exodus 20:1-17) 😀

  8. Alex Tworek says:

    What does it mean to fulfill a law?

  9. Bob Jones says:

    God’s law

  10. Jeffrey Harrell says:

    He fulfilled the 400+ Jewish laws of the OT. He lived the perfect life that man could NOT.

  11. Mark Wilson says:

    Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law. We no longer have to sacrifice animals for our sins. Civil laws do not exist anymore because they were for people who did not have a government at that time. For example, land had to returned to a certain tribe every 50 years. Moral laws still apply. Jesus did not dismiss the 10 commandments and frequently told people to “stop sinning”.

  12. Duane L Burgess says:

    To fulfill all righteousness.

  13. Ralph T. A. Ranger says:

    In the Torah there are the Ten Commandments. These a part of the law. But no one could every keep all ten for a lifetime, so they were never fulfilled. So instead the law of the Old Testament required a sacrifice or sin offering to be done by the priest.

    Jesus fulfilled the law by keeping the law (which no one had ever done before) he he fulfilled the second part of an atonement or sacrifice for us who can not keep the law. He paid once and for all for us breaking the law.

    Of note the Old Testament I think has 613 commandment in total to make the entire law. Not just the main ten commandment we normally think of.

  14. Jereme McAlpin says:

    Old Testament law

  15. James Gore says:

    Look up the Book of The law

  16. Noah Eggena says:

    The Law. The one God gave to Moses. What Jesus meant by this is that he is proving that he is the only one who can live the perfect life and he’s proving to the Jews and the Gentiles that no one can live a perfect life and he is proving that is for filling the law by saying look this is how to live by the law you have not done this and this is why you need to have put your faith in me.

  17. Steven Wells says:

    All of it

  18. J.R. Gilligan says:

    All sacrificial law.

  19. Charles Flores says:

    My take, just my thought. This is probably the most looked at sermon ever, agreed? Why is it that he reinstated 9 of the 10 commandments, but didn’t mention 1 of the 10. Hmm. The sabbath,,,,why? Why did he leave that law out? My “opinion” is he didn’t come to destroy it (it’s still alive for the Jewish nation to this day, and a few Hebrew rooters)BUT came to fulfill. He hadn’t fulfilled the prophecy yet.

  20. Robert Gilland says:

    Jesus is the completion of the law

  21. Dancan Amayo says:

    Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirement of the law. , since the law required righteousness but no one could accomplish the righteous requirement of the law, Jesus did it for all

  22. Jef Mendiola says:

    “For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” Matthew 12:8. What should be done in Sabbath? Jesus demonstrated for us how to observe the Sabbath.

  23. Francois Ebreo French says:

    To me, this is the most important law that the Lord Jesus fulfilled: ” Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death; (but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord).”……..

  24. John Allen says:

    Read Genesis to Revaluation and you will find out

  25. Mathew John says:

    For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
    Romans 8:3‭-‬4

  26. Hans Krug says:

    He is also the completion of the prophecies fulfilling hundred of prophecies at his first coming.

    Marine Corps 1984
    Concerning businesses in Hawaii. We need national level leadership for a proximity compromise…The full might of sophistication to find out what and who is involved and flood the system with well instructed and God discerning personnel that answer only to The President. With all love and due respect because of The information below. If The businesses in Hawaii create a massive historically unprecedented discount better than ever before to honor the military they could be given more support and grace. Please help me to understand how can you–want money and business–BUT do not–say anything about the sacrifice and lives and family lost on The land by the military that Pastor J.D. Farag shares happened July 5th, 2015 On His Prophecy update 6:58 Seconds into video on YouTube(just The tip of The iceberg of what is going on)…Please help me to understand how do you care more about money loss than lives lost on the land for money. Each person has to be shown the Pastor J.D. Farag video of how they did not say anything to defend the military but are saying things for money on the land the military give their lives to protect.
    Please pray this is done…It was not The Tourist that did this to the military but those that live here…Please ask yourself if you will do this to your own military do those involved care who gives them or where their money comes from. We need national level help here something is wrong…See and research for yourself…Too many people involved…

    All of it. Every single jot and tittle. 33 years living it, and then bearing the curse His people deserve for not living it. No religion in history has offered something that clever, or comprehensive.

  29. Eric Licayan says:

    Apostle Paul already explained it in Romans 9:30–32 ;10:1-5
