What is the meaning of vouchsafe in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Vouchsafe means to grant as a favor or assurance of worthiness, specifically through Christ.

The term vouchsafe is used in the context of being counted worthy before God, primarily as a gift that is given by Christ. It conveys the idea that we have no intrinsic worth but are made worthy through Christ's merits. This assurance comes not from our own actions but from Christ who vouches for us before the Father. By His grace, believers receive access to eternal life and the kingdom of God as a result of His righteousness, fulfilling God’s plan for our salvation.
Scripture References: 2 Thessalonians 1:11, Revelation 5:9, Romans 5:1-2
