i once got to save a bees life, it was drowning and I just got to in time, didn't know how long it had been in the water but i saw the life disappearing from its face so I blew fresh air in it for ten mins and it sprung back to life, I'm not joking but a bee came and flew to me every day all summer always giving a friendly buzz every time it sat next to me in our garden 🙂
Well, it seems to me that only Christ was the perfect fulfiller (doer) of the law, and what Jesus did gets imputed to us.
"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
- Galatians 2:16 (NKJV)

Actually that is an IRONIC statement.
...whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified...
1. This is a reference to Jews who were under the Law until the New Covenant went into effect.
2. The entire Law of Moses would apply to them, which means that any violation of any of the laws would mean that "the doer of the Law" was not in 100% compliance.
3. The Law demands 100% compliance for anyone to be "justified" by the Law, which is impossible for anyone.
4. Regardless of how hard someone might try to be "justified" by the Law, God says that justification is by grace through faith PLUS NOTHING.
5. Which also means that those who seek to be saved by the works of the Law are simply deluding themselves. This is really what Paul was teaching. Yet there are Judaizers among us who simply do not understand justification by grace through faith PLUS NOTHING.
