What does the Bible say about Christ as our surety?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ became the surety for God's elect by taking full responsibility for their sins and guaranteeing their salvation.
In Proverbs 6, the concept of surety involves taking on the debt or responsibility of another, which Christ did for His elect. Before the foundation of the world, Jesus was appointed as the surety for those chosen by the Father, preparing to pay their debts and fulfill all righteousness on their behalf. He is described as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8), and through His sacrificial death, He guarantees the safety and redemption of His people. This act wasn't contingent upon our actions; rather, it was a divine promise from God that was established in the covenant of grace among the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
