Matthew 5:17 ” Do not think I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”

Jesus came not only to fulfill the types & prophesies by His actions and sufferings, but also to perform perfect obedience to the Law of God in His own person…by enforcing and explaining it fully in His Doctrine…The Gospel Message. In Him fulfilling the Law, Jesus didn’t alter, replace, or nullify any of the former commands…rather, He came to earth to establish their true intent and purpose by His teachings, and accomplished them perfectly in His obedient life to His Father. Paul taught on this in Romans 3:31 when he asked, “Do we, then, nullify the Law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the Law.” Paul agreed here that the principle of justification by grace through faith couldn’t be a contradiction of the Law…for the Gospel Message Paul preached upheld the Law not destroyed it.
