How do we know that Jesus is worthy to open the book in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is deemed worthy because He has prevailed over sin, death, and the grave.

In Revelation 5:5-6, it is proclaimed that Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is worthy to open the scroll that is sealed with seven seals. His worthiness is established through His life, death, and resurrection, demonstrating His victory over sin and death. Jesus' unique position as the God-man, who took upon Himself the sins of His people and satisfied divine justice, qualifies Him alone to execute God's eternal purpose. This theme of Christ's qualification for redemptive work is emphasized throughout Scripture, affirming that He is both powerful and knowledgeable, encapsulated in the symbolism of the seven horns and seven eyes.
