“God did something in the past and fully met the law’s requirements. He sent his Son to be a sin offering so he could condemn sin. Did God succeed? Of course. When did he succeed? Nearly two thousand years ago. So is God still trying to fulfill the law today? No, he has fulfilled it already. It’s a past event. Notice that God did this so that the law would be fully met in us, not by us. When we come to Christ, all that he did to fulfill the law is placed in us and credited to us. This makes our righteousness greater than all of the Pharisees’ efforts combined, even from the first day we believe.” (from “The Naked Gospel”)
