Oh but we can fulfill the law. Jesus commanded us to. If He commanded us to do it, you know that we can. Here's how...True!
But, only Jesus can fulfill the law perfectly, which includes all you mention. The problem is that we can not, therefore, I think the better answer for how did Jesus fulfill the law in the New Covenant, is that he , being the embodiment of the law, fulfilled it by getting inside us. We offer nothing, but with him in us, God credits us with his, righteousness, holiness, blamelessness, perfection, not ours!
Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
All of the law is based on these two laws..Fulfill these two and you fulfill all the Old Covenant Law. As I said. If Jesus commands it, its totally doable.
