What does the Bible say about Jesus being made our surety?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jesus Christ was made a surety before the world began, assuming total responsibility for our salvation.

In Hebrews 7:22, the New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ, as our mediator, was made a surety of a better covenant. This suretyship signifies that He takes on the responsibility for the salvation of His people. From eternity past, Jesus assumed this role, establishing His commitment to save us in accordance with God's covenant of grace. This notion of suretyship, while less understood in contemporary society, is foundational because it highlights the complete security of our salvation resting not on us, but solely upon Christ's faithfulness. Thus, God does not look to our efforts but observes Christ, the surety who has undertaken all for our redemption.
