- Christ, who is the end of the law (Mt 5:17-18)
Rom 10:4, Gal 3:23-24, Eph 2:14-15, Heb 7:11-12,19,28
The law is the Pentateuch. Prophets are the book of prophets. The words Law and Prophets usually refer to the entire Old Testament. In other words, Jesus did not come to abolish the Old Testament. Jesus is the one who perfected the Old Testament. All the contents of the Old Testament were fulfilled through Jesus, the Christ.
Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Heb 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
