How do we know that Jesus is the only one worthy to open the seals?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the only one worthy to open the seals because He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Lamb who was slain, signifying His eternal authority and divine power.

In Revelation 5, John sees a scroll sealed with seven seals, and there arises a question as to who is worthy to open the book. The answer is clear: only the Lord Jesus Christ, depicted as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, has the authority to execute God's decrees. His worthiness is grounded in His sacrificial death and resurrection, which empowers Him to fulfill God's purposes. This truth reassures believers that their salvation and the unfolding out of history rest securely in Christ, who has dominion and authority over all. Not only is He worthy, but He actively operates all things according to His perfect will.
