Christ's relation to the law of Moses may be summarized so:

1) He was made under the law (Gal. 4:4);

2) He lived in perfect obedience to the law (John 8:46; Matt. 17:5; 1 Pet. 2:21-23);

3) He was a minister of the law to the Jews, clearing it from rabbinical sophistries, enforcing it in all its pitiless severity upon those who professed to obey it (e.g., Luke 10:25-37), but confirming the promises made to the fathers under the Mosaic Covenant (Rom. 15:8);

4) He fulfilled the types of the law by His holy life and sacrificial death (Heb. 9:11-26);

5) He bore, vicariously, the curse of the law that the Abrahamic Covenant might avail all who believe (Gal. 3:13-14);

6) He brought out by His redemption all who believe from the place of servants under the law into the place of sons (Gal. 4:1-7);

7) He mediated by His blood the New Covenant of assurance and grace in which all believers stand (Rom. 5:2; Heb. 8:6-13), so establishing the "law of Christ" (Gal. 6:2) with its precepts of higher exaltation made possible by the indwelling Spirit.
