Christ's relation to the law of Moses may be thus summarized:
(1) He was made under the law Galatians 4:4.
(2) He lived in perfect obedience to the law John 8:46; Matthew 17:5; 1 Peter 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 Romans 15:8.
(4) He fulfilled the types of the law by His holy life and sacrificial death Hebrews 9:11-26.
(5) He bore, vicariously, the curse of the law that the Abrahamic Covenant might avail all who believe Galatians 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 Galatians 4:1-7.
(7) He mediated by His blood the New Covenant of assurance and grace in which all believers stand Romans 5:2; Hebrews 8:6-13 so establishing the "law of Christ" Galatians 6:2 with its precepts of higher exaltation made possible by the indwelling Spirit.
