How do we know that Jesus is our surety?

Answered in 4 sources

The New Testament presents Jesus as our surety, specifically in Hebrews 7:22, declaring Him as the surety of a better covenant between God and His people.

The New Testament affirms Jesus Christ as our surety, offering a pivotal understanding of His role in our salvation. In Hebrews 7:22, it states that 'Jesus was made a surety of a better covenant,' indicating that He stands in place of His people to fulfill the covenant's demands. Unlike the Old Covenant, which required obedience to the law for life, Christ, through His sacrificial death, redeems us from the curse of the law. This illustrates His suretyship: He takes on the foundation of our legal obligation before God, satisfying justice and fulfilling the law's requirements both in terms of penalty and obedience. Thus, in a profound sense, Jesus assures believers of their redemption and eternal security through His actions, making His suretyship foundational to our faith.
