How do we know the suretyship of Christ is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The certainty of Christ's suretyship is established through Scripture, particularly in Hebrews, where it emphasizes His unchanging priesthood and His role as a guarantee of our salvation.

We can know the suretyship of Christ is true because it is grounded in biblical revelation. Hebrews 7 establishes Christ's priesthood as superior to that of Aaron, and by virtue of His unending life, He serves as an unchangeable surety for the better covenant. The text states that because Christ remains forever, He brings salvation to the uttermost. Additionally, the covenant made by God with His people is fulfilled in Christ, emphasizing His unique role as both the mediator and surety. This role is reinforced by various Old Testament examples of suretyship, culminating in Christ's fulfillment of these types as He bears the sins of His people, guaranteeing their redemption.
