How do we know Jesus' suretyship is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' suretyship is affirmed through Scripture, particularly in Hebrews 7:22, which states He is a surety for a better covenant, reflecting the fulfillment of God's promises.

The assurance of Jesus’ suretyship is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly evident in Hebrews 7:22 where it declares Him to be the surety of a better covenant. This designation means that Christ has taken upon Himself the obligations of the covenant, securing the fulfillment of promises made by God to the elect. The biblical doctrine of suretyship also hinges on Christ's sinless life, His sacrificial death, and His divine nature, fulfilling the qualifications necessary for such a role. Furthermore, historical interpretations and affirmations by theologians within the Reformed tradition reinforce the reality of His suretyship as central to understanding salvation and God’s covenantal dealings.
