THE
SURETY OF THE COVENANT - Hebrews 7:22
In the covenant of grace,
before the world began, the Lord Jesus Christ voluntarily offered himself to be
our Surety. He willingly took on himself all the responsibilities and liabilities
of his covenant people. He is our Surety in an absolute sense. He agreed to do
for us whatever God required of us for our eternal salvation. And God the
Father accepted his Son as our Surety. Now, as soon as Christ became our
Surety, God ceased to look to us and hold us responsible to satisfy his
demands. He looks to Christ our Surety. God holds our Surety responsible to
satisfy his demands for us. That being true, my heart rejoices, because
"he shall not fail!"
