How does Jesus fulfill the role of testator?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus, as the testator, ensured that the New Covenant's blessings are executed through His death.

Jesus fulfills the role of the testator in the New Covenant by making all arrangements necessary for the inheritance of His people through His death. In Hebrews 9:16-17, it states that a testament is enforced only after the testator dies, symbolizing that the blessings of the New Covenant—including eternal life and redemption—are bestowed upon those whom the Father has given to Him. This profound truth reassures believers that their inheritance is eternally secure and that the provisions of the covenant are carried out sovereignly by Christ, who alone has the authority to fulfill all that was promised.
