My understanding is that fulfillment of the Law means completion
of the requirements outlined by the Law.  In Leviticus 26:14 and on,
it states what will happen if we "will not hearken to (God) and
will not do all the commandments...".  We must fulfill the Law, i.e.
abide by His commandments and statutes...all of them!

Because we could not fulfill the Law ourselves (works), which is my
impression of the reason for the Old Covenant with God - to see that
we cannot do it ourselves, God sent Himself as the Son to fulfill the
Law for us.

Well, you didn't want a monologue, so I will end with "and etc., etc."
(which is tough to do when you get to the best part!).

In Christ's Name,
