“He Hath Answered the Ends of the Law”
See 2 Nephi 2:7. A person answers to the justice of God in one of two ways: (1) perfect obedience to the law, which leads to blessings and joy; (2) disobedience to the law, which leads to suffering and punishment and requires a payment or penalty. Christ answered on both counts. He kept the law perfectly. In addition, he pays the penalty for our sins, which payment becomes efficacious as we repent and trust in him.
