What did Christ agree to when He became our surety?

Answered in 1 source

Christ agreed to fulfill all righteousness and take on the responsibility for the sins of His people as their surety.

When Christ became our surety, He entered into a solemn agreement with the Father on our behalf. This agreement included His commitment to fulfill all obligations laid out in the law, to obey perfectly, and to bear the weight of our sins. As our surety, He willingly assumed total responsibility for our redemption, effectively saying to the Father, 'Put their debt upon me.' This selfless act ensured that all required justice would be satisfied through His sacrifice, thus securing our salvation and allowing us to stand justified before God. The certainty of this agreement, made from eternity, assures us that God will not look to us for righteousness but to Christ alone.
