In this talk, recorded at TGC’s 2018 Women’s Conference, Don Carson considers four New Testament passages that talk about the law in relation to Jesus.
He considers the Greek meaning of the word “fulfill,” explains the theological concept called the threefold division of the law (moral, civil, and ceremonial), and discusses Old Testament typologies and trajectories.
