Christ is sometimes regarded as the “second Moses” or “second lawgiver,” though the New Testament does not expressly identify Him as such. Rather the New Testament designates Christ as the One who fulfills the law (Matthew 5:17 ) or is the end of the law (Romans 10:4; compare Romans 7:4-6; Romans 8:3-4 ). Christ does however set a new standard for judgment (Matthew 5:21 ) and gives a new commandment (John 13:34; John 14:15 ,John 14:15,14:21; John 15:10 ,John 15:10,15:12; 1John 2:3-4,1 John 2:7-8 ).
