How does God bear the burden of our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God bears the burden of our salvation through Christ, who is our surety and high priest, fulfilling all righteousness on our behalf.

The concept of God bearing our salvation is profoundly expressed through the role of Christ as both our surety and high priest. In Hebrews, Christ is described as the surety of a better covenant, meaning He takes full responsibility for our salvation by offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice. This sacrificial act was not contingent on our actions or approval; He achieved it solely by His obedience and love for His people. Consequently, believers can have confidence that their redemption is completed in Christ who bore our sins in His body on the cross. Thus, all aspects of our salvation—from election to justification and ultimately glorification—rest on His shoulders, ensuring that our salvation is secure and unshakeable. Therefore, understanding this brings joy and assurance to believers, knowing that God fully carried the weight of our sins and has provided a path of redemption through His Son.
