SCRIPTURE

"For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth." — Romans 10:4 (ASV)

The end of the law (τελος νομου). Christ put a stop to the law as a means of salvation (6:14; 9:31; Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14) as in Lu 16:16. Christ is the goal or aim of the law (Galatians 3:24). Christ is the fulfilment of the law (Matthew 5:17; Romans 13:10; 1 Timothy 1:5). But here (Denney) Paul's main idea is that Christ ended the law as a method of salvation for "every one that believeth" whether Jew or Gentile. Christ wrote finis on law as a means of grace.
