One God in three persons: What does Matthew 5:17-20 reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (Son)?

Matthieu 5:17–20 (NEG79)

17 Ne croyez pas que je sois venu pour abolir la loi ou les prophètes; je suis venu non pour abolir, mais pour accomplir.

  • God the Son is the King who fulfills all that was promised in Scripture. He has come to perfectly obey God’s law, thereby meriting eternal life in God’s presence. He shares his perfect righteousness with all those who have faith in him, so that they can also belong to the kingdom and enjoy the privileges of kingdom citizens. Through his death, he also bore the curses that the law promised for lawbreakers, giving his life in the place of sinners who deserve judgment.
