How do we know that Christ is our surety for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our surety because He took full responsibility for our salvation before the Father.

The concept of Christ as our surety is firmly established in Scripture, particularly noted in Hebrews 7:22, where He is referred to as the surety of a better testament. This indicates that Christ represents those whom the Father has given Him, ensuring their salvation through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death. Just as Judah pledged to take full responsibility for Benjamin, Christ willingly took upon Himself the burden of our sins and the complete responsibility for our salvation, as illustrated in His high priestly prayer (John 17). This assures us that we are eternally secure in Him, as He did not merely act as a guarantor but fully accomplished our redemption.
